A free online tool from the Natural Resources Conservation Service that maps soil types and their properties for any area in the United States.
The Web Soil Survey is an online tool from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service that maps soil types and describes their properties. You can outline your lot and read about drainage, slope and soil depth. Owners in Nashville planning walls, patios, drains and plantings can use it to learn what kind of soil lies under their yard.
We are a private company and are not part of the USDA. Soil affects bases, drainage and plant choice, and local conditions can differ from the map. We check your soil during the site visit and plan bases and drains to suit it.
