Hi, lookingvat purchasing a lot for home construction in Charlevoix County, Norwood township. Backhoe excavation 15 yrs ago shows topsoil 1 ft, 1 to 3 feet loam and sandy clay 3-6 ft clay loam. I have read about expanding clay soils in other parts of the country, but wanted to see if this should be a concern in this location. Maps I have seen on internet of Michigan show less likely to have this clay type. What is known about soils in this area? Should I get soil further tested?
