Build on grass or earth
If the terrace is planned on an existing piece of earth, lawn or meadow, there are two main challenges when planning the subsoil: neither should grass later grow through the joints of the terrace, nor should the terrace sink in places. Lawn soil is usually loose and moisture does not always seep away well. This could lead to underwashing at load-bearing points.
