Re: Foundation Question
It's a good idea to clear the ground under the piers to yield the most solid bearing. I would dig down a few inches under a couple pier locations just to check what is under the surface. You definitely don't want vegetation under your piers.
As for the ground under my platform, there is no real top soil here. It is flat as well. Semi arid plants needed cleared away. The soil is silty sand from the surface down. I merely hoed -spaded- raked everything flat under the platform and set all my concrete pads on that surface. No real excavation was necessary. It was a snap to prep.
