"Fall 2017-Over and above a quality job. We hired Dos Amigos Landscaping to regrade a large, oddly shaped, sloping gravel driveway that had not been attended to in about 10 years. In addition to performing the re-graveling, the crew carefully plotted the drainage directions to ensure excess water went in the right direction. When the job was completed the crew collected all refuse and debris and even swept and hosed out the carport which had collected dust during the project. They also followed up to ensure everything had gone well for us when the job was completed. Will definitely call on Dos Amigos Landscaping for future work."

"Jason is very easy to talk with, and he was attentive to our needs. We required his services more in the beginning of our relationship than now. He planted a tree and some shrubs for us. Additionally, he spread fertilizer on our lawn, as well as weed killer and grass seed. His son mows our lawn on a regular basis. In September he will sod our front lawn. He tried to help us salvage it, but the developer put down the original sod on a weed bed and didn’t properly water it before the purchase was complete. Despite Jason’s best effort, the lawn didn’t make it. Therefore, we are going to replace it. Jason is going to handle the replacement. As you can see, he has done quite a bit of work for us."

"It was delightful working with Mike. He responded to my initial inquiry promptly and came out within days to look at and estimate the job. He offered several solutions to our drainage/erosion problem. He answered our endless questions patiently and professionally. Basically everything he said happened. Which is pretty refreshing. He started the project, arrived when he said he would finished as planned. He and Bruce were quite neat and organized during the process, it was impressive. Mike goes above and beyond in his workmanship he just knows the right thing to do and we really appreciate the extra care he gave to our home. He seeded part of our yard that used to be a gravel driveway and it looks amazing! I highly recommend Mike, wouldn’t consider anyone else."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field 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.

While both fall and spring are suitable times of the year for planting trees, fall is typically the better option. Soil stays warm long enough to allow tree roots to establish in fall before they go dormant, while spring might give way to intense summer heat before spring-planted trees have time to grow strong roots.

Professional lakefront landscaping addresses environmental factors such as water level fluctuations, erosion control, and native plant suitability. Regular maintenance includes pruning, fertilization, and ensuring drainage systems function well.

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.
