Scattered data equals establishment failure

Soils that work for generations

Reduce establishment failures, firefighting, and costly re‑work over the life of a project.

Six steps

Turn scattered soil tests and field observations into clear next steps for your land.​

Unified, actionable soil science

The information paradox

59degrees exists to separate signal from noise and return soil wisdom to the field. Instead of asking you to spend years trawling through data and jargon, we distil modern soil science into clear, field‑tested guidance that tells you what to do next on your site.​

We turn scattered soil tests, field observations, and biological reports into stepwise interventions—what to apply, when, where, and why—so you can build resilient soils, season after season. Our commitment is simple: information that is practical, low‑jargon, and directly linked to measurable outcomes out in the field, not abstract theory.​

Failing to plan is planning to fail

Process

59degrees works with you to read structure, biology, and nutrient balance together, then design interventions that fit your context and budget.

Outcome

The result is long‑term fertility by design: soils that buffer stress, handle water, and feed biology more reliably, so you can rely less on firefighting and more on a system that improves with time.​

Problem

Too many projects lean on short‑term fixes—extra fertiliser, another pass with the machine, a last‑minute product—while the underlying soil system should have been addressed long before. The question to be asked "is my soil ready to support the given crop"? If so "how do I know that to be the case"?

Why Our Soil Method Works

With over a decade of hands on agronomic experience, your soils are in good hands.

Reduce establishment failures

New plantings work with the soil rather than against it, so they stop stalling and start growing. Fewer replacements, fewer site visits, and fewer awkward conversations about why things did not take.

Turn soil tests into clear actions

Complex lab reports are translated into simple, ranked steps you can actually implement. You see which constraints matter most, what to change first, and how to phase improvements over time instead of guessing from pages of numbers.

The goal is not just to “fix a problem” but to create soils that actively support roots, water, and microbes so they can do more of the work for you. That means more resilient crops and plantings, more predictable performance, and a growing margin of safety as the soil improves.

From soil confusion to a working plan

• Listen & map the problem
  You share your site, soils, and constraints—budgets, timelines, policies, and existing designs.​

• Assess soil structure, biology, and balance
  We combine lab data, field observations, and your local knowledge into a single, readable picture.​

• Design stepwise interventions
  You receive a short list of actions that fit your rotation, kit, and risk tolerance—what to do, when, where, and why.​

• Support implementation & learning
  Ongoing advice, workshops, and resources help you adapt as conditions, markets, and seasons change.​

Who We Serve

We work across a full spectrum of ecosystems, from production-focused farms to amenity-driven urban landscapes. Our methods adapt to both agroecosystems and city soils, so the same principles that build resilient crops also support long-lived trees, parks, and planted spaces.

Farmers & land stewards

Field‑by‑field soil diagnostics, rotation and fertility design, and season‑by‑season support to build resilient, high‑performing soils.​

Estates, nature areas & rewilding sites

Long‑horizon soil strategies that reduce maintenance burden, protect plantings, and align ecological goals with operational reality.

Urban trees & municipalities

Soil‑first specifications, planting designs, and troubleshooting to improve establishment, survival, and long‑term performance of trees and landscapes.​
