Newer construction, same expansive clay
Peachtree Corners' housing stock is newer than most nearby — built up after Paul Duke's Technology Park development in the late 1960s-70s, with the city incorporating only in 2012 — but it still sits on the same Piedmont red clay, the Cecil soil series, that runs under the rest of north Fulton and Gwinnett County.
Evaluating a 1970s-and-later slab foundation
Newer Peachtree Corners homes typically have better-engineered slabs than older housing nearby, but 1970s-80s foundation drainage still wasn't designed around the shrink-swell magnitude the clay's rainy-to-dry cycle now regularly produces, so evaluations there focus on drainage grading as much as the slab itself.
