Water moves slowly through this ground
Group C is a measure of how fast water soaks in, which is not the same thing as the drainage class above it - ground can drain well internally and still shed a downpour across the surface. On group C drainage is not an upgrade to a patio quote, it is part of whether the patio lasts.
Most of the housing predates 1960
72% of it. Expect original masonry worth matching rather than replacing, mature root systems close to the house, and made ground around foundations from work done decades ago.
Lots are tight
A median of 7,171 sq ft means access is usually the constraint. Material often has to be carried in by hand rather than driven in, and that is a real line in an honest quote rather than a surcharge.
There are 7 larger properties here
Over half an acre, where machine access is normally straightforward and the job is priced on the work rather than on getting to it.

What is the soil like in Overlea?
The dominant series around Overlea is Udorthents, in hydrologic group C — water moves through it reluctantly, so drainage and base depth matter more here than they do a few miles away. That is not trivia: it decides how deep a patio base needs to be and whether a lawn will hold without drainage work.
Most houses here are older. Does that change anything?
It usually does. The typical home around Overlea dates from about 1956, and 72% were built before 1960. Older properties tend to have settled grades, tired drainage and original masonry worth matching rather than replacing.
