Local Conditions That Affect Sand Use in Loris

Soils mapped in the Loris area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you need to plan for drainage and a stronger base under the sand. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. About 55 inches of rain a year adds to the need for good site grading.

About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling a delivery onto firm ground matters. The ground around Loris is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate. Where it is not, most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.

About 39 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. That limits frost heave, so base depth is driven by drainage, not frost. About 1 inch of snowfall a year means plowing damage to a loose surface is rare but possible.
