Pouring concrete directly onto unprepared dirt is a poor construction practice that leads to future cracking, shifting, and settling. A proper sub-base requires clearing organic topsoil, grading the earth, compacting the soil thoroughly, and laying down a compacted gravel or crushed stone base topped with a vapor barrier to ensure proper drainage and long-term structural integrity.
