The sales lady did tell me that they did a soil test and found higher levels of sand in the soil so it would be more expensive to build, but she said they will build on it if the double lot option is not taken.

Other counties tell you to pound sand. I

I have a house in Sandy Springs, GA, located on the Chatahoochee River.

My friend was just quoted $10,000 to hook up to rural water in my state and that is a 50 foot run through sandy loose dirt.

There is slight efflorescence (white powder) on the soil, whichindicates that this occurred at some point in the past, and most likely not recently.

The soft soil, hard water and constant AC use by most Texans create a lot of maintenance issues.

The soil from the barren backyard has all washed towards the foundation I'm sure contributing to the termite issue.

Keep in mind the type of soil.
