Sand in Marshall
Sand is sold by weight, not the truckload. The delivered price depends on how many tons you need and where your address is in Marshall. Do not let the per-ton figure alone decide the job.
Marshall gets about 29 inches of precipitation a year. That means a sand surface needs good drainage underneath or it will wash out over time.

How Marshall's Climate and Soil Affect Your Sand Job
Soils mapped in the Marshall area are commonly well drained. That means less base stone is needed under the sand surface than in heavy clay ground. The ground around Marshall is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.
About 162 days a year drop below freezing. That long frozen period means the base layer has to be deep enough to resist frost heave. Snowfall averages about 44 inches a year, so plowing a sand driveway can push the material into the lawn if the base is not stable.
Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot. That is the time to avoid driving on a new sand surface until it compacts.

How many tons of sand do I need for my project?
