Soil Testing for Healthier Landscapes
A diagnostic starting point for properties where plant decline, bare spots, runoff, or repeated inputs keep coming back.
Terra Preta uses soil testing, site observations, and practical field notes to identify what is limiting plant performance. We look at physical conditions, nutrient availability, moisture behavior, compaction, organic matter, and visible plant stress so you can make decisions from evidence instead of guesswork.
- Lawns, gardens, and planting beds with recurring decline
- Properties with compaction, runoff, or uneven irrigation response
- Owners who want a clear baseline before redesign or amendment work
- Step 1
Review the property goals, visible symptoms, and maintenance history.
- Step 2
Evaluate soil behavior, moisture movement, root-zone conditions, and plant performance.
- Step 3
Translate findings into practical recommendations for amendments, design changes, or follow-up support.
