"Anthony did a good job, was very responsive to all my requests. He had to send his crew back two times because they did not check with us before leaving and there were some things left unfinished, but he sent them back and made a big effort to make sure we were happy at the end. My only small complaint is that we had to make sure the crew didn’t take shortcuts, they kept trying to get away with the minimum work and we had to keep pointing things that seemed very obvious, however, once we asked for them, they addressed them. Over all, it was a great experience and we will be going back to Anthony if we ever need help with any tree or landscaping."

"These guys are great! I had a birthday party coming up at the end up the month and really wanted my lights done by then. Jake and Ronnie were so understanding of my timeline and were in constant communication throughout the whole process. Will definitely be using them for my lighting going forward!"

"Levi is the best. He did a major excavation project for us involving excavating 5+ft from the top of a hill and leveling/grading the land to prevent water from getting into new construction. This was a very stressful project and he and his crew eased our nerves. It was also amazing to just watch them work. He also moved and existing hydrant line and ran a water to my garage. He diagnosed a septic issue, put down a lot of gravel, and trenched 300ft for an internet line. Great guy to work with; pro-excavation equipment; great price, communication and quality work. Will be my go-to guy for every project. Highly recommended."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best landscaping for a septic drain field is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth.

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.
