Local Weather and Soil Factors for Sand Use in Myrtle Beach
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. Myrtle Beach has about 76 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so you should schedule the delivery onto firm ground rather than after a wet spell.
About 38 days a year drop below freezing, which affects the work window and how much the ground moves. Soils mapped in the Myrtle Beach area are commonly very poorly drained, meaning you may need more base stone under the surface layer to manage moisture.
The ground around Myrtle Beach is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, it takes water in at a moderate rate; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Estimating How Much Sand You Need
To figure out how many tons of sand your project requires, measure the area and desired depth. Use our sand calculator to convert dimensions into tonnage. It accounts for compaction and the specific gravity of the material.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sand in Myrtle Beach
Is Myrtle Beach a wet enough area to worry about washout?
Yes. Myrtle Beach receives about 56 inches of precipitation a year, so washout is a real concern for sand surfaces. Good drainage planning and a deeper base help reduce erosion.
How many wet days a year should I plan a sand delivery around in Myrtle Beach?
About 76 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. You should schedule the delivery onto firm ground rather than after a wet spell to avoid soft conditions.
Do I need to be home when the truck arrives?
Yes. You or someone you nominate must be present during the delivery window. If no one is there, a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply.
How does delivery scheduling work after I order?
You choose a delivery date at checkout, which must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You then pick a window: morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm. Gravel Monkey sends an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email.
