In Iowa there would be no problem with putting in your own. Just need to have the permits and have it inspected.

thing that seems odd to me is having slope. When we had one put in the leach field needed to be dead flat. If memory serves no gravel allowed. I made a straight blade for the digger's bucket.

We hired the digging done as when I have tried to make a level trench with a backhoe it was a abject disaster. would guess with practice I could do it but sometimes it is easier to hire some things done.

If memory serves the backhoe labor was a small portion of the cost. All the plumbing bits were what cost the big bucks. We needed to put in a tank (Main reason) Lift pump, and bed. bout $6000 for 3 bath, 3 bedroom house.
