The ground under Lone Tree

Expansive clay plains

Bentonite clay and claystone of the Denver Basin, the most common ground in the metro.

Bentonite swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, so the ground under a slab is never quite the same height two seasons in a row. Concrete poured straight onto native clay cracks, lifts at the edges and tips back toward the house. It is the single most common failure we see in Front Range driveways.

How we build in Lone Tree

Remove the soft and organic soil, bring in compacted road base, set rebar on chairs, and plan joints and slope so water runs away from the house instead of soaking the clay beside it.

What fails here first

  • Slabs tipping back toward the garage or foundation
  • Cracks that open in summer and close in winter
  • Lifted edges along walks and patio borders
  • Water standing against the house after storms
