How can you level ground for a pool without sand?

• <div><p>When leveling the ground for a pool. If the ground is mostly level, you may be able to simply lay down pavers or pool pads to support the pool. However, you’ll still need to level the ground with sand as a base before adding other materials on top, like crushed gravel. </p></div>

Do you have to be careful when putting landscaping over a leach field or drain field?

• <div><p>You should exercise care when deciding <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">how to landscape over a leach field</a> for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.</p></div>

Q: Can adding new sand fix paver drainage issues?

• <div><p>Not typically. A paver patio drainage problem generally requires a landscaping fix that can include a drainage pipe or dry well capable of handling the amount of runoff in your yard. </p></div>

Q: How deep do you dig for plastic edging?

• <div><p>You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it&mdash;2 inches is usually sufficient. </p></div>

Q: How long does a perc test take?

• <div><p>A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there&rsquo;s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.</p></div>
