Milton Climate and Its Effects on Sand Use
Milton receives about 66 inches of precipitation each year. This much rainfall means that water draining quickly is important. Sand used for leveling or bedding should be placed on a well-drained base to avoid washout.
The area sees about 21 days a year where the temperature drops below 32F. However, ground freezing is not a significant factor, so the base layer does not need extra depth for frost protection. Soils mapped in the Milton area are commonly somewhat excessively drained, which provides natural drainage. Additionally, local soils are in hydrologic group A, meaning they soak water quickly and produce little runoff. This reduces the need for extra drainage stone under the sand. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
