Why Soil Sampling is the Foundation of Successful Land Rehabilitation
When land rehabilitation fails, the cause is rarely at the surface. Vegetation struggles to establish. Slopes erode. Water runs off instead of infiltrating. Closure criteria are missed. Carbon, forestry, or biodiversity projects underperform. And ultimately, remediation costs escalate.
In most cases, the problem can be traced back to one thing: the soil beneath our feet.
At Verterra, soil sampling is not a box-ticking exercise. It is the foundation of every successful rehabilitation, soil amelioration and land-performance outcome we deliver.
