"Backyard Ponds is magic. I have a small backyard pond,stream and waterfall that have been leaking for years. Various workmen had poured concrete into it, slathered mortar between stones and sprayed special waterfall foam all over the sides of it. My pond, stream and waterfall continued to leak. Hilary of Backyard Ponds looked at it for a while, moved one stone and fixed the leak. How did you do that! I yelled. Well after you work on enough of these things you get an eye for what the problem could be. Then she vacuumed all the mud that had been clogging the pum , reattached the waterline and pump that I could never get to stay together, restacked the rocks along the edge of the stream so they actually sat on top of each other instead of sliding down at all angles, and added a few strategically placed rocks to hide the pump and waterline and cover the rubber sides of the stream. She added a regulator to the water line so I could make the water run fast and slow. And more. I have had a pond and stream for fifteen years, and many people have worked on it, from expensive professioanl landscapers to guys I would swear the contractor picked up off the street corner. The difference in using someone who specializes in ponds is stunning. Backyard ponds is magic. "

"Brian and Cindy are a 1-2 punch that literally had me jumping for joy. I was incredibly nervous about re-doing our entire front yard in one large project with a company I had never hired before. They were recommended by a neighbor who has used them over the last five years on two separate houses, so I had some knowledge of their final product, but I was absolutely thrilled with the results and surprised by how easy they made the whole process from beginning to end. I'm a project manager for a living, so I have a tendency to be a "tough customer." Beyond the impeccable customer service: multiple site visits, phone calls, texts, drawings, and both being on-site and hands-on during the actual installation, their prices beat out 4 (highly reputable) local competitors. I never felt nickle-and-dimed. In fact, quite the opposite. They made last-minute adjustments when I made special requests at no additional charge. He even treated my lawn and cut my grass when our normal maintenance folks didn't show up (needless to say, I'm now exploring a maintenance contract with Salt Creek Gardens). In less than a week, several neighbors have stopped by to ask who did the work, and despite torrential downpours, the french drain is keeping the lawn from having its usual pools of standing water. Brian was able to work with a long-time associate to negotiate a better deal for me on some large tree removal. Between the tree removal, solving my water problem, designing and installing 3 new beds, and re-gravling my front, Salt Creek Gardens ended up being the perfect one-stop-shop for all my landscaping needs. I definitely will use them again when it comes time to re-pave my front walk and re-do the back yard. "
All municipalities in the U.S. require a permit for septic tank installation or septic system alteration, and the permit will usually cost between $450 and $2,500. Some municipalities also require permits for septic system repair. You’ll either need to contact your local building department or your septic tank company to ask if this is necessary before carrying out the work. Permits are not typically required to have your septic tank pumped, so provided your septic company is licensed, you can move forward with the work as needed.
Several things can ruin a septic tank over time, including dumping harsh chemicals (like bleach and ammonia), pesticides, and paint thinners down your drain because they can kill the bacteria in your septic tank. You should also make sure to only flush waste and toilet paper in your toilet—otherwise, you could clog your system.
Plumbing leaks, roof failures, poor drainage systems, and severe weather events that lead to flooding or inundation are common causes of water accumulation.
Most homeowners know there’s a septic system problem when they can smell one. However, this isn’t exactly a scientific deduction method. Consider some of the other signs: standing water or constantly damp earth in the drainage area, toilets and sinks that won’t drain or frequently back up, and loud plumbing. You really need to be on top of routine maintenance with septic systems in order to avoid such unpleasant symptoms of a septic issue.
You only need to pump the septic tank. The leach field allows the liquid and waste to naturally seep into the ground, so there’s no need to pump the leach field. You should call a local septic tank pumping service to remove the materials from the tank every three to five years. Without pumping the septic tank occasionally, solids could flow into the leach field pipes and clog them.
