I do think that when there is a lot of rain, it might be a good idea to try to direct it out and away from the foundation because of sinkholes....but...sand wicks so quickly that the water table would quickly make the water level underground level too.
Remember, I was a kindergarten teacher and for thirty years I watched kids play in the sand table and add water.
And I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express a couple of times.
I still say...it kept the guys busy for a few days and they are happy with the results and I am not an engineer.
