I live in Central New York. It has rained
ALOT the last few weeks here and I have a few very troubling problems. The house is about 18 months old. The lot was all new growth
trees (TALL anfd skinny with weak
roots) when they cleared to build. Very clay-ee soil, and slate underneath.
One area of my
lawn has what we 'affectionately' call the
pond. It's basically a huge puddle, about 5 feet diameter and at times 7" deep. It's right at the corner of the garage and I worry about the foundation. Can anything be done aobut it?
I also have a squishy spot about 6 to 8 feet in diameter. I can actually take a stick and poke it into the "spot" about 2 1/2 feet down. Is there an aquifer or something down there and will I have a geyser if I dig it out?
