My bil and I did ours. We chose the area for our drain field, then the Engineering Co. came and did the 4 holes and perk test. They determined how deep our lateral would be. The county determined we required 100 lin. ft. for each bed room, so 400 linear ft. Bottom of each trench is "level' from one end to the other, our lateral were on a slight downhill slope. we were right angled to the slope. So each lateral was actually a little lower than the ones next to it. I believe my laterals were 25feet center to center. We used the basket style, no rock, no sand they just sit on the grade you have cut. The dosing box of course sits down hill from septic but set perfectly level in all directions, each lateral piped from there. Dosing box filled with water and set the caps so each lateral gets the same flow. In your pictures it appears that you have some clay atop a sandier soil. Looks to me like your lateral trench should be just as you are hitting the sand. Septic can freeze but from their depth and the warm water flow in and the anaerobic digestion going on they don't usually. Before we could cover anything the county eng. came out and shot all the elevations to determine we had everything correct and he mapped it all for their records. gobble
