New septic leach line cost ??

[175gr7.62]

Anyone have any idea what the cost would be to install about 150ft of new leach lines on an existing septic system? Wide open pasture.

Shouldn’t be more than 1500.00

I did my own on my new barn. Shouldn’t have to go 150ft if you can dig deep enough to hit sand.

Depends if you get that Kubota going or not....

I don’t think that bucket will dig trenches very well!

that you can do your self rent a ditch witch or a mini backhoe
get a load or two of pretty good size gravel and some 4 inch
perforated drain pipe . dig at least two to three feet deep then put in a good bed of gravel.
them drain pipe. cover pipe with tar paper. then cover with the dirt you took out of ditch Show wife how to operated ditchwitch or back
hoe and them watch the fun
if you do it your self shouldn't be over 1k

It’s easy. Back hoe, pipe, rock, and build some pipe hangers out of rebar to easily set your fall in the pipe. I did 400’ for my grandpa a while back. Took a weekend worth of work working at his pace.

I’m thinking of going this route. Got quoted $2160 today to do it. My math shows $725 to do it myself. That includes renting the mini-excavator. Doesn’t include the beer though[emoji12]

I would go the backhoe route that way you can move dirt and rock with the bucket. You can also finish the dirt work out nicer with the bucket. Where you located I’ll give you a hand if your close.

Another option rather than gravel is EZ lay pipe. It is about 12" tubes of styrofoam peanuts. One has a perforated pipe in it. 2 more sit under it like a pyramid or beside it. The peanuts function like gravel. It is exceptionally easy to install. You can buy it at HD or lowes but I don't think they carry the tubes with just peanuts for extra capacity. They just have the tubes with the perforated pipe in them. When i was doing installs, we bought it from a pipe supply place.

Any idea how much that stuff runs per foot? Hauling gravel is going to be a pain.

I can't remember what we used to pay for the stuff from the pipe supply but I would imagine it was much cheaper than lowes/HD.

Here's a random supplier I pulled up.

I added to mine with that Leanmachine posted. Probably 10 years ago or more. Hand dug the ditch...
