Ground and Conditions in Preble

Start with the soil, because it decides your base. Stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone covers most of the hills here, and much of the upland has a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface. That is why an under-built base pumps and ruts after rain.

Heavy rain runs fast off steep hillsides into narrow valleys, so creeks rise quickly and flash flooding repeats. On flatter uplands the dense subsoil keeps water sitting near the surface after rain and snowmelt. Build the base thicker over soft till, and give low spots a drainage layer instead of trapping water.

Long, cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and wet silty till can heave and turn soft as frost comes out in spring. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall, since frozen ground stops compaction in winter. Hillside sites and back roads can stay soft and wet into spring. For footings, frost depth is usually about 4 feet down, though the local building department sets the exact depth.
