Soil Testing Services
Every great garden begins below the surface. Our soil testing service reveals exactly what your soil is working with — so planting, feeding and drainage decisions are grounded in real data, not guesswork.
Definition
Soil testing takes the guesswork out of gardening. By measuring pH, nutrients, composition and drainage, we build a clear picture of what your soil can support and what it needs.
The result is a practical set of recommendations — the right amendments, the right plants and the right care — so your investment in the garden pays off from the ground up.
Our soil testing services services
pH & nutrient testing
We measure acidity and key nutrient levels to understand what your soil can support and where it falls short.
Soil composition analysis
Sand, silt, clay and organic content are assessed to explain how your soil holds water and feeds plants.
Drainage assessment
We evaluate how your soil drains, identifying compaction or waterlogging that could undermine planting.
Amendment recommendations
Clear, practical advice on the composts, minerals and treatments that will bring your soil into balance.
Follow-up retesting
Repeat testing confirms improvements over time and keeps your soil on the right track.
