This is a really great question Sandy!

Saturation of subgrade soils is the number one enemey of all pavements.

The buyer had no problem with it.You might be in an area with bad soil where all of the foundations will have problems.

Sandy Blanton,That is precisely correct.

I also had the foundation issues but the bank took care of by adding additional soil for sloping.

I listed it lower than the comps to be extra competitive knowing the time of year was not the best.We listed a week before Hurricane Sandy.

I'm a major gardener so it makes me nervous to plant the poor shrubs out of season, but I know roots can be active until the soil itself stays below 40.

Are you saying they would nuke the very soil they intend to inhabit afterwards?

The soil generally needs to be the same as the rest of the lot unless it is substandard for building, then you will need an engineer to approve the soil after new soil has been added and compressed suitable for the structure, that could be expensive. good luck!
