Soil test #875849

Asked July 03, 2024, 3:56 PM EDT

How can I get a soil test? I lost a large Lindon tree in the parking strip at my home. It died and was removed last fall. Arborists did not determine the cause of death. I replaced the tree this spring with a gingko. It also died. I am concerned the area may be contaminated. A natural gas line runs directly under the root area.
