How Montrose Weather Affects Your Sand Project
Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall. Montrose experiences about 185 days a year below freezing. The ground freezes deep and stays frozen for months. This cycle can heave a sand base that is not deep enough, so plan for adequate base depth.
Annual precipitation is only about 11 inches, but that comes mostly in brief storms. About 33 days a year see measurable rain. Wet days can make a sand surface unstable, so schedule delivery onto firm ground.
