Pre-planting Site Assessment

Preparing for a new landscape installation? Pre-plant testing of your site soil will determine fertility and horticultural suitability for planting and identify any problems with chemistry, fertility or soil texture to help determine needed fertilizers and amendments. We can provide WELO-compliant Soil Management Reports that comply with section 492.5. We also provide sample collection services if specifications require that a third party collect the samples.

Existing Landscaping

If your existing landscaping is dying or just failing to thrive, this may be an issue related to poor soil chemistry or disease. We provide analysis of soil and plant tissue to determine if plant failure is due to the presence of a pathogen or if issues are being caused by chemistry conditions such as high pH or salinity. We can also recommend a correct maintenance fertilizer regimen to keep the nutrient needs of your healthy plants satisfied.
