Soil Stabilization in National City, CA.

What soils are most common in San Diego County?
The pros we send see expansive clays inland (especially east county and parts of inland north county), decomposed granite over bedrock in the foothills, alluvial fill in valleys and creek beds, and uncompacted urban fill on lots that were graded for development. Coastal terraces are usually stable. Hillside lots are the highest-risk class because of slope creep and drainage.

5 inches. Polyurethane shines at filling voids and lifting interior slab sections.
