Post your experiences about trees and doing tree work around septic systems.
I don't know where the leach field is, but I know I had a big 3' DBH poplar growing just feet away from the tank with many other 30 year old trees planted nearby. Some of them were recently removed, and I could smell sewage while grinding the stumps. I'm surprised we haven't noticed any issues with the septic system considering how the trees were likely planted right on top of everything. Maybe roots shy away from sewage, but I doubt it.
