Executive Engineering Summary

"Glendale residential properties, situated near the Verdugo Mountains, sit on sandy loam with high concentrations of decomposed granite and stiff clay layers. While the granite loam is stable and drains quickly, water pools at the clay-rock interface, creating perched water tables. Proper pool decommissioning requires deep shell fracturing using heavy pneumatic hammers to establish hydraulic equilibrium and moisture-balanced backfilling with select coarse-grained materials."

Subsurface Type

Verdugo Mountains Decomposed Granite & Stiff Clay Loam

Glendale's decomposed granite loam provides excellent natural drainage. However, clay pockets require strategic drainage channel breaks during shell fracturing to avoid localized water accumulation.
