Stockton has clay soil. This type of soil doesn’t drain well. However, since Stockton has a dry climate, this is rarely a problem for builders. Clay soil is better than the sandy soil found through most of the state for building on. It’s firm and compact, so boom lifts and forklifts can stay stable. Since Stockton’s soil isn’t rocky, you need only standard manlifts and scissor lifts, not rough terrain ones.
Make sure you apply for the right permits and licenses. Get adequate insurance and the right hire equipment for local sites. Then your Stockton building projects are bound to succeed.
