Excavating the field

Once the grade of the drain field is set you can easily maintain this grade from one end to the other using a 2x4 and level, as illustrated.



Here is a shot of the drain field fully excavated before the sand is poured in.  The septic tank is at the far end.  Notice the outlet hole .  The grade of the outlet hole is the depth of the sand and drain rock above the grade the drain field.
