Septic System Installation: What Lexington KY Homeowners Should Know

Everything starts with the soil evaluation. It determines what kind of system your property can support and how much field line it needs — you can't shortcut it, and no installer can override it.

The permit is issued to the property owner and the system has to be built to the approved design. Changing the layout in the field without approval is the fastest way to fail an inspection.

Keep traffic off the field lines. Driveways, parked equipment and future outbuildings over a drain field crush the lines and shorten the system's life dramatically.

Plan the tank access. A tank buried deep in an inconvenient spot makes every future pump-out more expensive than it needs to be.

Mark cleared about four acres of brush that had gone wild for a decade. Showed up when he said, worked straight through, and the ground looked better than I expected.
Dale R.Nicholasville, KY
Our driveway washed out every spring. He recut it, put in a culvert and built a real base. Two winters later it hasn't moved.
Kendra M.Lexington, KY
Site prep for a 40x60 shop. Pad was dead-on grade and the drainage works. Easy to get on the phone, which is more than I can say for the last guy.

Storm took down half a fence row. Taylor'd Earthworks had it cleaned up and mulched in a day and hauled off everything that couldn't stay.
