Sustainable Soils is an owner operated, natural resource related, consulting business specializing in site and soil evaluation, septic system design, and erosion control planning and design.

Scott McLaren started this business in 1999 after years with previous employers gaining valuable experience and insight looking at a wide array of resource related concerns and proposing and designing innovative solutions to them.

Sustainable Soils is in the business of keeping water clean. Whether evaluating soil characteristics in multiple soil test pits for a planned subdivision, looking at a residential site for a single family home's septic system or assessing the stability of a gravel road near a lake, each site needs to be evaluated based on its unique characteristics and resource concerns.

Systems are custom designed to best meet clients needs, as well as control and minimize the potential threats to both our surface waters and groundwater.
