Parks and Garden Restoration

Our parks and gardens restoration survey service provides soil/plant specific information invaluable to those delivering a park restoration scheme.

Parks and gardens may have had a chequered history, possibly receiving a variety of imported soils and other materials over the years.

Our survey service will assess the quality of the site soils in relation to the proposed planting or maintenance scheme, identifying poor soil conditions needing improvement and allowing precise amendments to be made in good time.

Service Benefits

Landscape architects and landscape contactors benefit from this service by helping them to:

  • Improve plant establishment and growth rates by identifying inhospitable soil types
  • Practically improve soil quality to a required level
  • Alter plant species lists to suit site soil conditions
  • Maintain soil quality throughout the restoration process
  • Eliminate over or under application of soil amendments.

Service Description

There are three key elements to this service:

Soil Survey The topsoils (and subsoils) of specific areas are assessed to provide information on drainage potential, compaction, variations in soil texture, stone content and presence of deleterious materials and evidence of pernicious plants
Laboratory Analysis The soils of specific planting areas are categorised by laboratory analysis of soil samples
Report Preparation Area specific discussion of soil quality and recommendations to maintain and/or improve soil conditions are presented in a fully interpretive report

 Full recommendations are given to maintain/improve soil quality as appropriate.
