How close can you excavate to building foundations?
It isn't as critical as to how close you excavate to building foundations. You want to be more careful not to excavate below a building's foundation. As a geotechnical engineer, we recommend that excavations for additions or appertenant structures not be extended within a 2 horizontal to 1 vertical oversize area extending down and away from the outside edge of the existing building's foundation. Hopefully this helps.

How do succulents affect building foundations?
Succulents planted too close to building foundations can cause issues by retaining moisture in the soil, potentially leading to expansion and contraction cycles that may affect the stability of the foundation. The roots of certain succulents can also grow and penetrate through cracks in the foundation, which can exacerbate existing structural issues. It's important to plant succulents at a safe distance from building foundations to prevent any potential damage.
