Specified, Structural and Soil Analysis

We are a licensed supplier of CU-Structural Soil® in Alberta (also known as CU-Soil®) (U.S. Patent #5,849,069), a soil designed by Cornell University to improve the growth and development of urban trees. Developed as a way to safely bear pavement loads after compaction and yet still allow root penetration and vigorous tree growth, CU-Structural Soil® is intended for paved sites to provide adequate soil volumes for tree roots under pavements. It may be used under pedestrian mall paving, sidewalks, planting islands, and parking lots. CU-Structural Soil® is an innovative medium installed under pavement that improves street tree vigor and prevents sidewalk failure, frequent pavement repair, virtually eliminates tripping lawsuits, and greatly reduces the replacement of dead trees every 7–10 years.

The use of Low Input Development (LID) techniques in the urban landscape has been gaining momentum in recent years. The installation of LID facilities like rain gardens, bio-retention areas, tree trenches and structural soil cells are being implemented in many of our local communities, these facilities often have the combined goals of managing stormwater and supporting healthy plant material.

This blend was developed to provide optimal growing conditions in Bio-retention areas for Perennials, Shrubs and Trees while providing for predictable infiltration. This blend meets the Calgary 70mm/hr standards

40mm/Hr Rain Garden LID Blend is ideal for perennials, shrubs, trees and turf when used in a rain garden setting to support stormwater management programs on commercial scale projects.

One of our specialties is blending soils to meet project specifications, or providing required amendments for existing topsoil piles on sites. Everything we do is based on our years of experience and knowledge relating to bulk soil components and blending in our region and then we verify everything using the best third-party laboratories.
