Soil & Plant Laboratory Diagnostics
Soil Nutrient Analysis – A17
This soil test for established landscapes measures pH, salinity, nutrient levels, and key elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and micronutrients. It supports maintenance decisions, diagnoses plant issues, and validates fertilization practices—helping trees, shrubs, and turf stay healthy.
Pre‑Plant Soil Evaluation – A05‑2
Before new plantings, this assessment evaluates soil chemistry, nutrients, texture, and organic matter. It provides amendment recommendations to create an optimal root environment for trees, shrubs, turf, or garden beds—improving establishment and reducing long-term maintenance.
Agronomic Pre‑Plan & Site Testing
For larger installations and agricultural projects, agronomic testing combines soil fertility analysis with physical and water‑quality assessments. Representative samples are collected and evaluated for nutrient levels, pH, salinity and texture. The resulting report guides soil amendments, irrigation strategies and fertilization plans tailored to your project specifications.
Heavy Metal Screening
Protect clients and landscapes from toxic contamination. This laboratory service screens soil or growing media for metals such as aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium and many others, continuing through copper, iron, lead, mercury and selenium. Identifying and addressing elevated heavy metals supports safe soils for people, plants and the environment.
Soil Microbiome Analysis
This test analyzes soil microbes that cycle nutrients and support structure. By measuring key microbial functions for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur, it identifies imbalances and guides fertilization—improving soil health and long-term plant vigor.
Plant Pathogen Diagnostics (Virus/Bacterial/Fungal/Nematode)
When plants decline, accurate diagnosis is essential. This lab identifies fungal and bacterial pathogens and detects nematodes, enabling targeted treatment to stop spread and protect your landscape. Additional testing can identify viruses and other diseases.
Plant Tissue Nutrient Analysis
Tissue testing detects nutrient imbalances before symptoms appear, confirming deficiencies and identifying toxicity. It measures key elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients. Combined with soil analysis, it guides precise fertilization and enables corrections within the same growing season.
On‑Site Consultation & Sampling
For complex sites, our arborists provide on-site consultations. We collect soil and tissue samples, assess compaction, drainage, and irrigation, and deliver tailored recommendations—ensuring accurate results and addressing site-specific issues like tree health and rooting conditions.
