Bexter is an unknown quantity at this point
I believe this is something that every Landscaper comes across. Short of digging down to the footings there isn't much you can do.
And we are not going to do that.
We had one last year that had been built for about a year but we had not had much moisture the winter before and a very dry spring ...once the landscape was complete and irrigation was running it sunk big time around the foundation.
I've also heard of some companies not guaranteeing around the foundation but I think that would be very bad PR.
Would be nice if the builders did a proper job of back filling.
