Greenfield Soil Survey

Natural ‘as-dug’ soils are a valuable resource that should be carefully managed.

Our greenfield soil survey reveals the nature of site soils and provides advice on soil management techniques to ensure they are preserved for reuse.

Our service has been produced specifically for landscape architects, landscape contactors and consulting engineers involved with soft landscaping schemes, providing site specific soil information that is normally not covered by environmental, ecological and geophysical studies.
