Accredited lab results, read back to you in plain language, and grounded advice on what to do next, from healthier lawns and gardens to full land revitalization. Sampling done in person, to a standard most testing skips.
Decades of orchard spraying, airport-corridor deposition, and added compost leave traces that don't show up at the surface. Testing is how you find out what your ground actually holds, before you grow, build, buy, drink or play.
Lead-arsenate pesticides were used for decades throughout the Okanagan valley. Both metals are permanent; they don't break down or wash away.
Properties near flight paths and older industry can carry deposition the standard checklist won't flag.
Raised beds and gardens draw from the soil beneath them. Knowing what's there is the first step to eating from it safely.
Land you already work. Know what's in the soil your animals graze and your food grows in, season after season, not just what a previous owner told you.
Everything priced in Canadian dollars. Lab work runs through CARO's accredited lab, and site accessibility fees, if any, are always disclosed in your quote, never a surprise.
Testing tells you where your soil and water stand. These are the ways we help you act on it, from a revitalization plan to full landscape conversion.
An accredited lab certifies what happens after the sample arrives. Everything before that, the ground, the tool, the jar, the drive back, is ours. It's the half of your result nobody talks about, and it's where we're different.
Collected in person by a UBC-trained microbiologist, with a focus on soil and industrial microbiology.
Aseptic technique carried into the field; the discipline a lab uses, applied where the sample is actually taken.
Equipment disinfected to professional standards. Samples stored and moved cold, sealed, and documented.
Read back to you in plain language; what the numbers mean for your soil, your water, and your family.
PFAS don't break down, and they aren't part of a routine screen. If your property sits near a flight path, older industry, or land where firefighting foam was used, they're worth looking for on purpose.
Most screening simply doesn't look for them. Add a PFAS panel to any soil or water test, and you close a gap the checklist leaves open.
We treat the land we test as something worth protecting, not just measuring.
The discipline we keep in the field is the same whether or not anyone is watching.
Plain-language results and fees disclosed upfront. No jargon, no surprises.
Someone makes a real decision from our number. We take that seriously.
