Soil Analysis
Widson Ambaisi — Principal Landscape Designer
Soil determines what will grow and what won't. In Kenya, conditions vary dramatically — from black cotton soil in parts of Nairobi to volcanic loam in the highlands to sandy soils at the coast. We take soil samples, test for pH, nutrient levels, organic matter content, and drainage characteristics, then provide specific amendment recommendations before any planting begins.
What's Included
Soil Sampling
Multiple samples across your site at different depths and locations.
pH Testing
Determine acidity/alkalinity and its effect on nutrient availability.
Nutrient Analysis
Test for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients.
Drainage Assessment
Percolation testing and water-table evaluation.
Amendment Plan
Specific recommendations for soil improvement — comite, manure, lime, gypsum.
Species Matching
Plant recommendations suited to your specific soil type and conditions.
How It Works
Site Sampling
Collect soil samples from multiple points and depths across your property.
Laboratory Testing
pH, nutrient profile, organic matter, and texture analysis.
Report & Recommendations
Written report with amendment specifications and plant compatibility notes.
Implementation Support
Guide soil preparation before planting begins.
