Local Expertise
Understanding Apple Valley's Landscape
Apple Valley features a mix of rolling terrain and flat suburban lots. The eastern portion has more elevation change, while western areas are flatter. Numerous parks and water features create natural backdrops for many homes. Soil is predominantly clay.
Soil & Footing Considerations:
- Clay soil throughout requires 48" frost footings
- Cobblestone Lake area may have higher water table
- Eastern hills create drainage considerations
- Some older developments have varied fill
- Flat lots need careful drainage away from home
