This package is a useful quality check for topsoil intended for general landscaping purposes. It includes analyses of basic soil characteristics necessary to determine the material’s potential to support healthy plant growth in most planting situations.
This package may be used to assess compliance with the requirements of a landscape architect's soil specification or the Voelcker Topsoil Standard.
