What types of vegetation are recommended for covering a mound system?

The recommendation for deep-rooted grasses that do not disrupt the mound's structure is based on the need to maintain the integrity of the mound soil absorption system. Deep-rooted grasses can help stabilize the soil, reduce erosion, and improve water infiltration into the mound. They also produce a dense root mat, which prevents surface compaction and helps maintain the mound's aeration, essential for effective wastewater treatment.

Additionally, these grasses typically do not have invasive root systems that could damage or disrupt the mound's structure, allowing the system to function efficiently over time. Their growth can enhance the overall aesthetics of the area while simultaneously contributing to the longevity and effectiveness of the mound system. This approach ensures that the vegetative cover supports the mound's purpose without interfering with its functionality.
