Soil mapping, every intensity
General, high intensity, and extra high intensity soil maps, mapped to the standard the job requires. Map units are delineated in the field, at the scale the reviewing authority expects.

What We Do
Every level of soil mapping.
A soil map is a professional document. It says what is under the ground, where the boundaries between one soil and another fall, and whether the site can carry the system you are proposing. We produce them at every intensity the work calls for, and we do the field work ourselves.
Soil site evaluations
Site evaluation for subsurface sewage disposal. Borings and pit descriptions, horizons, restrictive features, and seasonal high water table, recorded on site.
Percolation testing
Percolation tests run and recorded to the required interval, with every reading behind the final rate reported rather than summarised.
Subdivision and development work
Whole tracts mapped and divided, with the soils, the borings and the testing carried through to each lot. One lot or a hundred and more.
Reports your reviewer expects
Signed, dated soil maps and field data reports prepared for submission, with the field record behind every line on the map.
Consultation before you buy
A read on whether a tract will carry what you have in mind, early enough that it can change the offer.
Sevier Soil Services is a soil science consultancy. We map and report what is in the ground. Approval of any system rests with the reviewing authority.

Call or text Kyle with the address or the parcel number and what you are trying to build. That is usually enough to say what the job needs and what it will cost.
