Local detail
Richmond is built on fill. Long-term settlement is the dominant engineering challenge. What looks flat today might not be flat in five years if the base wasn't deep enough.
We over-excavate here as a rule (10–12" minimum even for walkways) and use geotextile to separate base from native soil.
