LANDSCAPE PACKAGE 10

Application: Assessment of Topsoil Quality According to BS3882:1994

Landscape Package 10 (LP 10) is suitable as a basis for assessing the quality and fertility of topsoil intended for general landscaping purposes. The package may be used to assess compliance with the requirements of a landscape architect's soil specification or British Standard 3882:1994.

Where contamination is suspected the client is referred to Landscape Packages 2 & 3 or one of our tailored contamination packages.
