Site Preparation for Lake Norman Properties

  • Lake Norman lots often mix clay, rock, and old fill — subgrade conditions vary within one property.
  • Wooded Denver and Troutman parcels usually need clearing and stump grinding first.
  • Sloped sites require benching and compacted fill, not just pushing dirt downhill.
