Digging in the Dirt

Spring is around the corner! We know what that means. The scent of newly dug up dirt will be in the air as people begin excavation for new home projects.

One of the top questions people are wondering when they consider new construction is whether it is better to build on a slab or build a home atop a full basement. Well, that depends! There are many factors which affect such a decision and your builder can address them with you. But if you want to do a little investigative research so you can ask the right questions, here are a few articles that will be helpful.
