Since at least since building South of 44, the Villages does extensive geological drilling to determine the conditions beneath the surface. You can see this as a matrix off white spots in Google photos prior to construction.
They scoop out any organic material and back full with sand/clay.
If moisture content is high, they use piles of soil to compress and force moisture out over time to compact/stabilize the soil
