We have amazing "soil". I use that term loosely as our "soil" is very...well, loose. We live on a raised beach. So under the 6" of turf you find stone. Not solid stone but lots and lots of stones. It's actually pretty good stuff to build on. Much better than clay or peat at least.The only problem (or at least the biggest problem)
is that it's practically self leveling. You dig a hole and it fills itself in. Which means that slopes have to be kept fairly shallow making any hole you want twice as big as you want it to be and once you've dug it with a machine you have to re-dig by hand all the stones which have slid back into the hole.
