Best Answer

Firm ground not suffering from shrinkage or expansion. Rock is the firmest.

Sandy ground will require piled foundations.

Clay will require investigation into shrinkage with the seasons.

Avoid building near tall trees - especially poplars that have large root networks that can affect the foundations over time.
