How King George's Climate Affects Sand Use

With about 45 inches of rain each year, water moves through the ground quickly. Sand placed in a low area can wash out if drainage is not right. Plan for water flow during installation.

King George has about 76 wet days annually, which can leave the ground soft. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts. About 93 days a year drop below freezing, limiting the working season and causing frost heave. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

Soils in the area are typically somewhat excessively drained, requiring more base stone under the surface. The ground belongs to hydrologic group A, soaking water quickly and producing little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed. Both factors guide base preparation.

Figuring Out Your Sand Quantity

The amount of sand you need depends on the area and depth of your project. A cubic yard of dry sand weighs about 1.5 tons, but the most accurate way to estimate is to use the sand calculator. Enter your dimensions to find the tonnage and see the delivered price for your address. The calculator works for any shape and gives a reliable number so you order the right amount.
