Sand in Arcadia
Arcadia sees enough construction and landscaping work to keep sand moving most of the year. The area gets about 56 inches of precipitation annually, so drainage and washout planning should be part of any job that uses sand.
Gravel Monkey delivers sand by the ton straight to your Arcadia address. Order online and the truck shows up when you need it.

|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Clean, screened, compactable under light loads |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Washed to remove fines, consistent gradation |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Screened for safety, no sharp edges or debris |

Local Conditions for Sand Work in Arcadia
Arcadia has about 74 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Plan the delivery onto firm ground because wet soil can rut under a loaded truck. Only about 3 days a year drop below 32°F, which means the ground barely freezes and the work window is long.
Soils mapped in the Arcadia area are commonly poorly drained. That means you will likely need more base stone under the surface layer to keep the sand from settling into wet ground. The ground around Arcadia is in dual hydrologic group A/D. Where it is drained it soaks water up quickly; where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
