Southern Pines Climate and Your Sand Delivery
Southern Pines gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means you need to plan for drainage and washout when using sand as a base. The ground around Southern Pines is on soils that are commonly somewhat excessively drained, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer to keep sand in place.
About 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. The area also sees about 62 days a year that drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an unstable base, so make sure the sand is compacted before winter. Snowfall averages about 1 inch a year, so plowing damage to a loose surface is a minor concern. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Soils in the Southern Pines area are in hydrologic group A, which means they soak water up quickly and produce little runoff. This behavior means less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer.
