Soil Sampling for a business expansion #856476

Asked December 18, 2023, 12:19 PM EST

I have been asked by the City of Colorado Springs to take soil samples at a location used for future landscaping. Do you have a pdf soil analysis request form you could send to me? Also, do I send or bring the samples to 17 N Spruce St, Colorado Springs, CO 80905 when I have obtained them?
