Hey, does anyone out there know about how many feet of clay we have in Lakewood topsoil? I'm interested in the logistics of a dry well.

Depending on your location there is normally 4 to 5 feet of topsoil and clay below the surface,beneath the clay is shale. Detroit Ave. is an exception, being an ancient beach ridge, has all sand above the shale, depth varies.
