Our soils are now AS4419 Certified for your peace of mind

We are excited to announce that our soils are now certified AS 4419. AS 4419 is an Australian Standard that provides guidelines for producing and using soils in landscaping and garden applications.

It focuses on ensuring the quality and suitability of soils for plant growth, covering aspects like physical and chemical properties, and freedom from contaminants. The standard is particularly relevant to the recycled organics industry and manufacturers of landscaping soils. 

The standard specifies minimum requirements for various types of soils, including general purpose soils, top dressing, topsoil, and landscaping mixes. 

It ensures that the soils can support plant growth, providing adequate drainage, aeration, and nutrient availability. 

AS 4419 helps prevent the introduction of contaminants into landscaping soils, which can harm plant health and the environment. 

The standard covers different types of soils, including "organic soil" and "low-density soil," which have specific requirements based on their intended use. 

Why is AS 4419 important?

• Plant Health:
  Ensuring that landscaping soils meet AS 4419 requirements helps safeguard plant health and reduces the risk of poor growth or disease. 

• Long-Term Success:
  It supports the long-term success of landscaping projects by providing a strong foundation for plant growth and development. 

• Environmental Protection:
  By preventing contamination, AS 4419 helps protect the environment and ensures that the soil is safe for use. 

• Industry Standards:
  The standard provides a recognized benchmark for the quality and safety of landscaping soils, contributing to industry best practices. 

So when you buy from us, you can have confidence in the quality of the soil you are purchasing.
