How Owego's Climate and Soil Affect Your Sand Choice

Owego has about 149 days a year below 32F, so the ground freezes deeply. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift a thin layer of sand. Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot. A thicker sand base may be needed to resist this movement.

Soils mapped in the Owego area are commonly well drained. This affects how much base stone you need under a sand surface. Because the ground drains well, you may not require as much base stone for drainage.

Ground around Owego is in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. As a result, less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer. This works in your favor for sand projects.
