Hardwick's Climate and Your Sand Base

About 172 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit in Hardwick. That many freeze-thaw cycles can push an unstable base out of shape. The ground here freezes deep and stays frozen long enough to move the soil underneath, which is why the base layer matters more than the top layer. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer.

Hardwick picks up about 126 inches of snow each year. Plowing that snow off a loose sand surface can dig ruts and push the material around, so a well-compacted base helps keep the surface flat. The ground around Hardwick is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That surface runoff needs a deeper drainage layer to keep water from washing the sand away. A good drainage sand like washed sand can handle that job.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sand in Hardwick

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

Yes. Hardwick has about 172 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That long freeze season means the ground moves as it thaws, which can crack a surface laid over a poor base. Order a sand that compacts well, like washed sand, and plan to add a deeper base layer than you would in a warmer climate.

Is Hardwick wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. Hardwick gets about 93 wet days a year, so the ground is often damp during the work season. Sand that drains freely, such as washed sand, helps water move away from the surface and keeps your project stable. A drainage layer under the sand is usually worth the extra effort.

Where will the driver put the load?

Tell us where you want the pile when you place the order. The driver places the load as close to that spot as the truck can safely reach, provided there is a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is tight, the crew unloads as near as possible.

How is sand measured and sold?

Sand is sold by the ton. The price is calculated for your ZIP code at checkout. Load sizes range from 1 to 40-plus tons, depending on what your project needs.
