Which Sand to Use for Common Projects

Different jobs call for different sand. The table below matches each project to the right product and a typical depth.

Local Conditions in Frankfort

Soils mapped in the Frankfort area are commonly poorly drained. That means a deeper base layer of stone is often needed under the sand to keep water from washing it away. About 43 inches of precipitation a year makes drainage planning important.

Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. With about 122 freezing days per year, the ground can shift. A well-compacted base helps keep your project level.

Around Frankfort, the ground is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in at a moderate rate. Where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. That is why drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in other places.

How Much Sand You Need

Estimating tonnage starts with the area and depth. For a sandbox that is 4 feet by 6 feet and 6 inches deep, you will need about a ton. Use our sand calculator to get a precise number for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Frankfort wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. Frankfort gets about 43 inches of precipitation a year. That much moisture means drainage should be a primary factor when selecting sand and the base layer underneath it.

Does the length of the freeze season in Frankfort change what I should order?

Yes. With about 122 days a year dropping below freezing, the ground can heave as it thaws. A deeper base layer of crushed stone or gravel under the sand helps keep the surface stable.

What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?

The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. The crew can unload as close to the requested spot as safety allows if access is restricted.

Do you take orders from businesses as well as homeowners?

Yes. Gravel Monkey serves homeowners, contractors, and commercial customers. Orders are placed by the ton, and delivery works the same way for everyone.
