Note
The y of sandy turns to i before -er, just as happy becomes happier. The comparative serves every meaning of the adjective: soil that holds more sand, a trail more thickly covered with it, a texture closer to sand's, or hair nearer its color. Context does the sorting, so a sandier beach and sandier hair compare quite different things.
