Why should you consider hiring a landscape company to install your septic system? It's surprising how many people don't realize it, but some larger landscape firms are actually licensed septic system installers in their respective states, and many provide these services frequently for their customers.

Septic system installations are a natural outflow of what landscaping companies already do. They can easily install a "stone-and-pipe" leaching field or an enviro-septic system according to the specifications of your septic system design. If you don't have a design, they can typically refer you to a licensed septic designer who can produce a certified blueprint and obtain all town and state permits for you at a reasonable cost.

One advantage in hiring a professional landscape company to install your septic system is "one-stop shopping." While most of these companies do not perform septic inspections or septic designs (that would be a conflict of interest), they are able to integrate your new septic system aesthetically into the landscape, and not make it look like an eye-sore. The long-term benefit of landscaping around a septic system is realized through curb appeal.

Many septic contractors who are not landscapers may skimp on the topsoil quality and depth. This causes the grass on the top of the septic tank or leaching area to burn in the summer, inviting turf insects and diseases.

A leaching field is made up of sand and stone. Using the correct gradation of these landscape materials will give the maximum life and value out of your new septic system. Because landscapers are familiar with the locations of the local gravel pits and landscape materials needed to install the septic system, they can obtain these materials in a cost-effective manner. They know the best places to buy the right type of sand and stone to install into your system.

It's very important to use the correct materials! Because there is so much sand used in the construction of a leaching field, it drains quickly and heats up through a convection process from the stone underneath the grass. Adding a quality loam at a deeper depth will ensure a healthy green lawn on top of that all-too-obvious septic system.

Make sure your landscape contractor uses screened loam that is a compost mixture. Experts typically recommend putting down a full four inches on top of the sub-surface grading. If your yard is not irrigated, they can install and maintain an automated sprinkler system for you that will keep your yard "clean and green" throughout the hot, dry summer. After grading, they will hydro-seed the finished product, giving you a thick green lawn in no time.

So if you're thinking about installing a new septic system, consider hiring a professional landscaping contractor so when your project is complete, your yard will have a clean, finished look.
