Arlington Soil Conditions & Foundation Requirements
Geotechnical Characteristics
Mixed soils common in Tarrant County—eastern areas have Eagle Ford clay similar to Dallas, western areas transition to lighter Grand Prairie clay with better bearing capacity. Active zone typically 5-8 feet. Geotechnical investigation required for commercial work to determine specific site conditions.
Critical for Arlington Developers
Always commission a geotechnical investigation before designing foundations in Arlington. Soil conditions can vary dramatically even within the same development. We coordinate with your geotechnical engineer to ensure foundation systems are properly designed for actual site conditions—not generic assumptions that lead to costly failures.
