Schertz Climate and Sand Performance

Schertz experiences about 20 freezing days per year, which gives a limited window for ground movement but does not eliminate the need for a stable base. Snowfall averages zero inches, so plowing damage to loose sand surfaces is not a concern.

The ground around Schertz is in hydrologic group C, meaning it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. This points to a deeper drainage layer being worth the investment. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.

New construction activity in Guadalupe County supports steady demand for sand. The county permitted about 1,905 single-family homes in 2024, each needing sand for foundations, utility bedding, and site grading.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sand Delivery in Schertz

Is Schertz wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. Schertz gets about 34 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage is a primary concern. Choosing a well-graded sand and planning for proper slope and base depth will extend the life of the installation.

Does the length of the freeze season in Schertz change what I should order?

Not significantly. Schertz averages about 20 freezing days per year, and ground freezing is not a significant factor. The base depth should be determined more by drainage and load than by frost heave.

Do you take orders from businesses as well as homeowners?

Yes, Gravel Monkey supplies both residential and commercial customers. Businesses can order the same sand products in any quantity, delivered by the ton to the project address.

Which sand do I need for pavers?

For paver joints and leveling, Mason Sand is the standard. It has a fine texture that compacts well and fills gaps cleanly. For the base under pavers, use Crushed Gravel or Crushed Stone, but for the setting bed, Mason Sand is the right choice.
