Central Indiana | I've been thinking of a new shop and one problem is having to remove trees (mostly mature pines - 18 to 24" in diameter). Unfortunately I can't locate it away from the trees; my best case scenario is having just 1 - 2 trees within the footprint of the building. I know an excavator could quickly get rid of the trees. My concern is the disturbance of the soil.
With proper compaction of the soil, how quickly could I build? I know it would be best to wait a year or so for things to settle, but I'm thinking about all the houses that get built in the woods. It seems they don't wait between taking down the trees and putting up the houses. Is it because the foundation is block or concrete walls? In my situation would a stem wall be better than poles?
Thanks for your advise
