How can I avoid putting in an ugly sand mound like the one my neighbor was forced to install?
Your neighbor’s sand mound was required because the soils on his property were too shallow to allow a conventional in-the-ground soil absorption system while meeting the standards for an elevated sand mound. Your site may or may not have similar soils. Today, however, there may be alternatives to the sand mound for your property (such as drip irrigation or at grade systems).
