A Little About Vale
Vale sits in the northwest corner of Lincoln County where the Piedmont starts lifting toward the South Mountains. It is rural, wooded and hilly, and the parcels tend to be wooded acreage rather than open field.
Why that matters on a job site
On sloped, rocky ground a pad has to be cut in. Fill on a hillside without proper benching is how a slab ends up cracked.
