| 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.
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.
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
