I figured they took the soil from digging the foundation and spread it around the yard in order to grade it and that's why the street is lower than the yard.

They do, but after they strip most of the good stuff off the top. Which kind of makes sense because it’s gonna be ruined by the construction. Top soil is only about 5-10 inches deep in most places and pretty compressible so any foundation is going to be deeper.

The real crime is plowing up farmland for tract housing.
