LANDSCAPE
PACKAGE 12
Application: Assessment of Soils For Wildflower
Planting Purposes
Landscape Package 12 (LP 12) is suitable
as a basis for assessing the characteristics and fertility of soils
or soil forming materials intended for wildflower planting purposes.
It includes those parameters necessary to determine whether the soil
is acid or alkaline, fertile or infertile, and heavy or light in texture.
It can be used to aid decisions on the most appropriate wildflower mixture
to sow or to assess compliance with the requirements of a landscape
architect's soil specification.
Where contamination is suspected
the client is referred to Landscape Packages 2,
3 & 5
or one of our tailored contamination packages.

The cost of LP 12 depends on the number
of samples submitted at the same time and how quickly the results are
required. See attached explanatory notes for
details of the different services available. The mineralisable nitrogen
determination takes a minimum of 7 days and therefore priority service
is not available with this package.
Work is undertaken subject to our standard
conditions of contract (copies available on request).
