As recycling and sustainability become key issues to any development, and with the push to develop brownfield rather than greenfield sites, sources of 'as-dug' topsoil are becoming scarce, particularly in urban areas.
Mayer Environmental has extensive experience in the manufacture of topsoil substitutes for use in commercial landscaping, land restoration, sports pitch rootzones and urban tree planting including:
Feasibility studies
Assessment of a site's soil resources to design a suitable manufactured root zone, typically involving site investigation and soil analysis.
Material selection
Selection of suitable off-site materials from nearby sources, such as quarries, soil re-cycling centres and other development sites.
Manufacture techniques
Detailed information and practical advice on the range of manufacturing techniques available, including appropriate equipment to use, inorganic and organic soil ameliorants, blending rates and soil handling considerations.
Compliance testing & site supervision
Full sampling, testing and management service to ensure manufactured soils are of a suitable quality for landscaping and are consistently compliant with the specification.
