Common Sand Applications in Warwick, RI

Here is how to match the sand grade to your project and the typical depth.

Local Conditions in Warwick That Affect Sand Use

Warwick receives about 50 inches of precipitation annually, so drainage and washout planning matter. With roughly 79 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important.

The area sees about 105 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which can move the ground and affect the work window. Snowfall averages 37 inches a year, and plowing can damage a loose surface. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

Soils mapped in the Warwick area are in hydrologic group A, meaning they soak water up quickly and produce little runoff. This means less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer.
