# **Florida Home Garden Soil Testing Services**

## **Grow your family’s food with confidence. Know exactly what is in your soil.**

Starting a vegetable garden is a great step toward a healthier lifestyle, but Florida’s
rapidly changing landscape means your backyard might have a hidden history. Before
planting your first seed, it is critical to ensure your soil is free from legacy
contaminants.

Standard DIY soil kits only test for basic nutrients to help plants grow. They do
not tell you if the soil is actually safe for food production. At MORAN ROCKS, we
bring commercial-grade environmental screening to your backyard.

### **What We Test For in Garden Soil**

Properties built on former agricultural land or near commercial sites can harbor
lingering contaminants that are easily absorbed by root vegetables and leafy greens.
Our comprehensive sampling targets:

 * **RCRA 8 Metals:** Screening for harmful heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and
   mercury.
 * **Legacy Pesticides & Herbicides:** Detecting historic chemical residues from
   previous agricultural use.
 * **Dioxins:** Identifying highly toxic environmental pollutants that persist in
   soil.

### **The Professional Difference**

We do not just hand you a confusing laboratory readout. All soil sampling plans 
are meticulously designed, and the final technical reports are written by our environmental
team under the direct oversight of a Florida Licensed Professional Geologist. With
over 17 years of experience in environmental risk assessment, we provide clear, 
actionable insights so you can plant with absolute peace of mind.
