Which Sand to Use for Common Jobs

For each project, the right sand saves time and money. Here is a quick guide.

Local Conditions That Affect Sand in Thomasville

Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Thomasville gets about 46 inches of rain a year, and with about 74 wet days, scheduling delivery onto firm ground helps avoid compaction issues.

About 68 days a year drop below freezing, but frost depth is not significant, so the base layer does not need extra depth for heave. Snowfall averages about 4 inches a year, enough to consider plowing damage to a loose sand surface.

The ground around Thomasville is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer under your sand earns its place where runoff is heavy.

How Much Sand You Need

Estimating the right tonnage depends on the area and the depth of the layer. Use the sand calculator to get a number based on your project dimensions. Order by the ton, and the truck delivers directly to your address.
