Stump depth
Could anyone tell me what is the minimum depth for stumps,I have purchased a block of land and the soil test stated that I could have problems excavating.
It also stated that levelling pad mortar could be used
Does That mean stumps?
I just took a crow bar to the block and dug in about 6 spots,it seemed to go 400-500 ok
Also is a rating 1-6 for a slope is high or medium
Thanks

There is not a simple answer to this, The Engineer will specify the depth and size of the stump hole, and the thickness of the concrete footing based on the soil test, and what is being built on it.

The soil test should state what class has been determined i.e. Class M , S or whatever. The class relates to what depth to go to and the size of the pad is determined by the area of & type of load the stump is supporting
