Two kinds of ground
West of the interstate, soils thin out over limestone and the Edwards Aquifer recharge and contributing zones begin. East of it, the soil turns to deep, slow-draining clay. Either way, a lot of Hays County septic systems are aerobic, and a site evaluation decides what a new lot can support.

First time using a septic service. Cody was amazing and knocked our aerobic system out in 1 day. Communication was great and guided us in the right direction with an engineer and the permits. I won't be calling anyone else.
Such quality service!! Cody was so nice and informative and he showed up right on time. He gave many helpful tips and put us on a service schedule. Would highly recommend!
Great experience with Larry’s Tank Service! Showed up perfectly on time, did great work, was super informative, and very professional.
