FAQ

I’m removing two neighboring maple trees to make way for a septic leach field. Will the removal of the trees and their roots lead to more standing water on the ground, especially since they no longer absorb excess water? The trees are about 20 feet from the house.

It is difficult to answer your question without actually seeing the site. Trees do absorb a substantial amount of water from the soil but other factors may play a larger role in your situation. (soil type, water table depth, grade, etc.). Make an appointment today and we will be happy to stop at your property to more carefully assess the situation.
