Everything you grow comes out of the ground, but you’ve never tested it for toxins.
One sample from the bed, screened for lead, arsenic, cadmium and seven more heavy metals, with plain-language context on where each reading sits.
For people who already pay attention to the ground, and have only ever had it tested for how well things grow.

Your scoop, element by element, in plain English. Posts to your account days after your sample lands.
You’ve had the soil tested. You’ve never had it looked at.
A county or extension test answers how well things grow—pH, a few nutrients, maybe organic matter. It's the right test, and it's a different question.
“I know how well it grows. I’ve never known what’s in it.”
You built the beds
You know the pH, you amend every spring, and you've never seen a number for anything else that's in there.
The garden came with the house
Somebody else laid it out, filled it and grew in it, and nobody wrote any of that down.
You brought in soil or compost
Bed mix, topsoil and compost all came from somewhere. One sample says what's in the bed you actually have.
You grow food you eat
Which makes what's in the ground worth a number rather than an assumption.

A garden bed has a history, and it usually isn’t the gardener’s.
“I built the beds myself. I never thought about what was under them.”
Fruit trees were sprayed with lead arsenate into the 1960s, and it stayed in the ground long after the orchards went.1 Deck lumber was preserved with arsenic until the end of 2003, and the ground around an old deck carries that.2 Neither breaks down.3 None of that is a statement about your beds—it's why a number beats a guess.
Heavy metals—ten of them, including lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium
The standard elements your sample is made of
Petroleum contaminantsPlusThree categories of things we can look for. Your kit decides which of them get run, and the report says plainly what showed up and what didn’t.
✗ Not on this report
pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter. For those, your county extension office runs the right test for under $30.
This is what comes back.
Not a lab printout. Real pages from real reports:
Two of ten heavy metals showed up, both under the common range. Your land reads Volcanic, and your iron is in the range of samples from Iceland.
One plain paragraph at the top, before any chart.

Eight precious metals. Plus 17 rare earths—neodymium, yttrium, lanthanum, the ones in your phone and your car—and crude oil.Plus kit
Ten heavy metals. Plus 12 petroleum contaminants—gasoline, diesel, heating oil, motor oil, benzene, DDT.Plus kit
Plus 45 standard elements underneath both, oxygen on up—most of what your land is actually made of. UNDR Premium takes both sides: two samples, 90+ in all.
We built the lab because we couldn't get the answer either.
We have a child who puts everything in her mouth, and we wanted to know what was in our land. There wasn't an easy way to find out. That's part of why we built UNDR.
Every sample is run here in the U.S., on the same instrument with the same protocol, and a person reads every report before it goes out.
Not your county soil test.
Four ways to look at a property, and what each one actually tells you.
| Home inspection | Ag soil test | Environmental firm | UNDR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Looks at the land | No | Yes, for farming | Yes | Yes |
| Screens for | Nothing in the yard | pH and a few nutrients | Whatever the bank asks for | 90+ elements, gold to lead |
| Built for | Buyers | Farmers | Developers and lawyers | The person who lives there |
| You get | A PDF you read once | A table of numbers | A binder | Plain-English pages, a type, a map, comparisons |
| Cost | About $400 | Under $30 | Priced for developers | From $99 |
"I have no idea where to start."
That’s the normal starting point, and the kit assumes it. A small shovel, a card telling you how, and a prepaid mailer are in the box. Ten minutes in your own yard, then your own mailbox. Nobody comes to your property.
"What if it comes back boring?"
Every one comes back with a type, a map, two famous comparisons and a page per element. If yours tells you nothing you didn't already know, email us and we'll refund it.
"What if it comes back high?"
Then you'll know. An elevated number comes with a name, the usual reasons it shows up, and who handles it. A number you never looked up gets none of that.
What the report does.
It tells you what’s in the sample from that bed and how each reading sits against common ranges. And it gives you catered guidance for anything that came up.
Pick your kit.
Every kit ships with the shovel, gloves, pouches, prepaid mailer and the full report.

Four things we promise.
You shouldn’t have to wonder what’s in the ground you grow in.
One sample from the bed, our own U.S. lab, and ten heavy metals read against the ranges commonly found in soil, in plain English.
One scoop at the end of a row, and the ground stops being the part you guess at.
