Planning Your Ranch Home When developing a foundation plan, frost lines for the region you plan to build for must be considered. If the foundation does not extend below the frost line, the structure can move with the freezing and thawing of the ground. The frost line in our region is typically 20-25”. Foundations should extend 3’ below grade to be safe. Soil structure and loads must also be considered when selecting a foundation.
