The septic side runs conventional gravity systems on decomposed-granite soils with 3-5 year pump cycles standard..

How tall do my risers need to be?
Risers should bring the lid to within 1-2 inches of grade, flush enough to mow over, high enough to keep surface water out of the tank. The pros we send measure depth at the job and stack riser sections to fit. Most installs need 6-18 inches of riser stack.
Will risers stick up and look ugly?
No, when sized correctly. The lid sits flush or just above grade and can be set in mulch, low groundcover, or stepping-stone landscaping. Green and tan lid colors are also available to blend with most yards.
