Every building site has unique characteristics that must be considered when preparing to build a foundation. Soil stability, water tables, moisture and even the backfill quality all need to be taken into consideration for each foundation. Sites that have a high water table may require tightly compacted cobbles for a base to protect the foundation from water damage, for example, while sites with loose soil may require compacting or additional aggregate material to form a solid base for the foundation.
