SEPTIC SYSTEM INSTALLATION
A failing septic system does not wait for a convenient time. TLS installs and repairs septic systems across Sparta, Morris County, and surrounding areas, working from engineered plans, handling the permits, and running the job with our own machines and crew. The same company that does your excavation puts your system in the ground, which is why the site is graded right when we leave.



Septic System Installation
Every system is installed to an engineered design. Licensed engineers spec the system for your soil, your water table, and your lot, and we build exactly to that plan through final inspection. Tank, distribution, and disposal field, dug and set by the same crew that runs our excavation work.
Septic System Repairs
Septic issues can happen at any time, but our team is ready to diagnose and resolve problems quickly. Whether it's a malfunctioning pump, clogged pipes, or a leaking tank, we diagnose it, give you a real number, and fix it.
WHY TLS STANDS OUT
What You Are Actually Paying For
Since 2009
Fifty years of combined experience on the crew, and a company that has been working this terrain long enough to know what is under it.
Built to the Engineer's Plan
Your system is designed by a licensed engineer and installed to that spec, through soil tests, permits, and final inspection. Nothing improvised underground.
Shelvie Is On Your Job
The owner walks your site, prices the work, and is there at final grade. If something is not right at the end, you are talking to the person who can fix it.
SEPTIC SYSTEM INSTALLATION FAQS
How do I know if I need a new septic system?
Frequent sewage backups, slow drains, foul odors, or an aging septic tank (over 20 to 30 years old) are clear signs you may need a new septic system.
How long does septic installation take?
The full process, including site evaluation, permitting, and installation, typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. The actual installation is usually completed within a few days.
Do I need a permit for a new septic system?
Yes, installing a new septic system in New Jersey requires a permit from your local health department, and our team handles the permitting process for you if need be.
What type of septic system is best for my property?
The ideal type of septic system for your property depends on factors like soil type, water table depth, and lot size. The engineers we work with will evaluate your site and recommend the best system (whether conventional, mound, or aerobic) for your needs.
How much does septic installation cost?
Septic installation costs vary based on the system type, tank size, and soil conditions. We offer free on-site estimates to provide an accurate quote for your septic system.
How often should a septic system be maintained?
Septic systems should be inspected annually and pumped every 3 to 5 years to keep them running properly and prevent issues.
Does TLS handle permits and inspections?
Yes, Total Landscape Solutions can handle all required permits and schedules necessary inspections for your septic installation, ensuring everything meets local regulations.
What happens if my property fails a soil test?
If your property fails a soil percolation (perc) test, you may need an alternative septic design. We explore solutions like soil remediation or a mound system to ensure you can still install a compliant septic system.
What are signs that my septic system needs repair or replacement?
Sewage backups, foul odors, slow drains, gurgling pipes, or soggy patches in your yard are signs your septic system may need repair or replacement.
Can you install a septic system in the winter?
Yes, we can install septic systems during winter as long as the ground isn't frozen solid; our team has the equipment to handle cold-weather installations when conditions allow.
