How Guilford's Climate Affects Your Sand Project

Guilford sees about 74 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. The ground freezes on about 123 days a year, which shortens the work window and can cause the base to shift if not compacted well. About 34 inches of snow a year can also damage a loose sand surface if you plow. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Soils mapped in the Guilford area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone underneath the surface layer. The ground in hydrologic group B takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.
