Construction and landscaping can have an enormous impact on soil quality within the urban environment. Using techniques that maintain soil quality and function will help you ensure that soils can continue to maintain drainage characteristics, support vegetation and provide the basis for green spaces, while minimising the risk of causing flooding or erosion.
