During installation, how should the site for a mound system be prepared?

The preparation of the site for a mound system involves clearing debris and grading the area to ensure that the system functions effectively. Clearing the site allows for the removal of any obstructions that might impede the installation process or interfere with the performance of the system. This includes the removal of rocks, plants, and other debris that could obstruct proper soil absorption or drainage.

Grading the area helps to create a smooth and level surface, which is crucial for the proper placement of the mound and for achieving the correct elevation. It ensures that water will flow correctly through the system, avoiding pooling or improper drainage issues, which can lead to system failure.

Proper preparation directly affects the efficiency and longevity of the mound system, making it an essential step in the installation process.
