Why foundations move in Lakewood Park
Ground conditions
Mapped soil inside Lakewood Park is recorded as disturbed urban ground, so the useful reading is the wider one. Across Davidson County the USDA survey is Mountview at about 19 percent of the survey, with Dickson and Hawthorne alongside it. The texture split is 44 percent clay and 42 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 2.76 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate low for shrink swell. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
The seasonal cycle here
Middle Tennessee clay swells in a wet spring and shrinks in a dry summer, and a foundation moves with it. That shrink swell cycle is the seasonal load these footings carry.
The age of the housing
The 2000s put up more homes than any other decade, 241 of them, and the median year built is 2004. 30 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. Mortgages sit on 62 percent of the owner occupied homes in Lakewood Park.
