Yes. If your house has been constructed within the past 7 years, there is a good chance that a 4′ x 4′ zone surrounding the homes foundation may add to continual settlement of the existing soils or a new Hardscape installation. The area can be reinforced in a number of ways, but must be addressed prior to Hardscape construction beginning. Please download our recommended engineering solution in PDF format.
