Q: Should I install an above-ground or underground wine cellar?

• <div><p>Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You&rsquo;ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. </p><p>What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you&rsquo;re looking to store.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include excavation and drilling?

• <div><p>Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.</p></div>

Q: How deep should a septic tank be buried?

• <div><p>How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. </p></div>

Q: How deep are septic lines buried?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-deep-is-septic-tank.htm">depth of a septic tank&rsquo;s</a> drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn&rsquo;t shift much. </p></div>

Q: What do you put under permeable pavers?

• <div><p>Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you&rsquo;ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.</p></div>
