Landscaping over your septic system does not have to be limited to turf grass:
- A mix of grasses and wildflowers can create a great meadow cover which will help enhance the performance of your system.
- Native plants make a great choice because they have already adapted to their surrounding environment, resulting in less maintenance for you.
- Avoid planting "invasive plant species". To find out the best plants for your area check out Evergreen.ca which offers a Native Plant Database (http://nativeplants.evergreen.ca/search/advanced.php)
- Also avoid planting trees and shrubs that will grow and develop large root systems, over or near the tank or leaching bed as they will interfere with the proper operation of the septic system
