Can you tell how much it has settled? Keep a diary of this, looking for
cessation of settlement. Most simple plan is to be safe than sorry. Do it
next year.

I built my own house last year (finished in Dec) and the way the city
worked
out the grading on my lot, I had to raise the grade 5 feet next to the
foundation. Does anyone have any idea how long this dirt will take to
settle before I can pave my driveway? I got about 5 inches of crush stone
on it now. It went through a Canadian winter, Do you think it's ready?

Thanks,

Glenn
