"Plastic Soil" Term: Not a Standard Term

A new homeowner heard "plastic soil" from a landscaper regarding drainage issues and asked for definition.

Answer

No standard horticultural/engineering term "plastic soil" exists for drainage. Likely a colloquialism for plastic clay (highly expansive clay) or a miscommunication. Ask the landscaper to clarify.

If you learn the meaning, share it—it's not in 35+ years of industry literature.
