Kent Subsoil

SUITABLE FOR:
• Free Draining Subsoil
• Compaction Resistant Subsoil
• A Wide Range of General Landscaping Uses
• Trees, Shrubs and Amenity Grass where a free-draining subsoil is required

Our Kent Subsoil is best described as a non-saline, stone free sand with a narrow particle size distribution.  The free-draining nature of this subsoil is confirmed by the predominance of medium sand (0.25-0.50mm) and lower proportion of coarse sand (0.50-1.0mm) along with the saturated hydraulic conductivity of 174mm/hr.

This subsoil complies with the British Standard for Subsoil (BS8601:2013) apart from the high sand content. This non-compliance is generally viewed as insignificant (further details in the soil scientist’s conclusion in the below accreditation report).
