How Beaverton's Climate and Soil Affect Sand Projects

Soils mapped in the Beaverton area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you will likely need more base stone under the surface layer than you would on well-drained ground. This is general area guidance, not a site-specific recommendation.

Beaverton gets about 71 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling a delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid rutting. About 164 days a year drop below freezing, which narrows the work window for base layers. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

The area sees about 53 inches of snowfall annually, and plowing can damage a loose sand surface. Plan to add sand after the snow season ends. Frost penetration is deep and long, which affects how deep the base layer needs to be. Ground around Beaverton belongs to dual hydrologic group C/D: where drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds some across the surface; where not drained, most rain runs off. Either way, drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
