Building in the trees
Sandia Park's homes sit among pine, piñon and juniper on the east slope of the Sandias. Lots are often sloped and rocky, with trees whose roots can invade drain fields if planted too close.
Common projects
- New construction septic for custom homes
- Replacing older systems on sloped lots
- Advanced treatment where soils are shallow

Trees and fields
Keep trees and large shrubs away from the drain field. Roots go looking for water, and a field is full of it.
