Soil and ground
The five sampled points fall in five different soils: Cecil, Georgeville, Hard Labor, Pacolet and Wynott. NRCS rates three very limited and two somewhat limited, listing slow water movement at every point, plus bedrock, a saturated zone and slope. Mapped bedrock is as shallow as 29 inches. Elevation is about 681 feet and relief is about 137 feet in a mile, which is hilly. This is generalized survey data; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
Census counted 195 housing units in Hickory Grove in 2020. The 2020-2024 ACS estimates put the median year built at about 1987. About 88 percent of homes are owner-occupied and about 34 percent are mobile homes, though margins are wide for so small a place. Where owners do their own upkeep, a pump-out and inspection gives a baseline on a tank no one has looked at.
Hickory Grove questions

Each of the five sampled points lands in a different soil series. NRCS rates three of them very limited and two somewhat limited, with bedrock as shallow as 29 inches at one. That mix comes from generalized survey data. It tells you lots differ, and a site evaluation tells you which kind you have.
