"Our landscaping in Menlo Park needed a complete refresh. The team replaced thirsty plants with drought-tolerant options that still provide plenty of color and curb appeal. We're using much less water without sacrificing appearance."

"I've used Jose four times in five years and have been very pleased every time. If it's a big job he brings enough people to get the job done quickly. The work is clean, his pricing fair and very competitive. He is good at communicating and offering options. He has always been on time and finished the job on time or ahead of time. I would definitely recommend him."

"Dennis from Panico called me within 5 minutes after submitting my issue on HomeAdvisor! After talking with Dennis, we set up an appointment for them to pump out our Septic tank. Final arraignments were made through Lauren who was very personable! The technician crew arrived who very professional and personable also! They explained the workings of a septic system s to me in detail (as a retired engineer I love detailed explanations). Pumping took less than an hour, but it turned out we also had a blockage in our drain somewhere suspected close to the septic tank waste inlet. It was decided to use a small snake and enter through the waste dump in the septic tank. The clog was found about 8 feet into the drain and was cleared in about 15 minutes. This saved a couple hundred dollars instead of removing the toilet as normal procedure and running a snake that direction. We were very happy the problem was solved quickly saving us money. These folks are VERY honest and enjoy the work they do! I would recommend them to anyone; they are an outstanding awesome company!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The main difference between a mound septic system and a conventional one is that the drain field in a mound system is built up into a mound composed of sand and gravel to increase the filtration time the wastewater sees before it is returned to the aquifer. There’s also a significant cost difference, with mound systems typically costing far more than standard septic systems.

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.

Yes, it is possible to drill a well by hand, but it calls for a good deal of physical labor. Drilling a well by hand is best suited for softer soil, and it may not be possible through rockier terrain. For wider and deeper holes, companies with professional equipment make the job much easier.

Adding a thin layer of dirt over a septic drain field is fine, especially if soil erosion has occurred. However, adding too much dirt can compact the soil, reducing the drain field’s ability to absorb and filter wastewater properly. Avoid using heavy clay soil, as it can prevent proper drainage. Instead, use a light layer of topsoil and plant grass to help with soil stability.
