White Mountains · Apache & Navajo Counties

White Mountain clay doesn’t drain like Phoenix dirt.

That’s why we still do septic the hard way: Plan A, concrete tanks and rock leach fields. Plan B, plastic and alternative systems. Same backhoe handles site prep, grading, pads, and dirt work.

Services

Septic first. Dirt work on the same machine. One crew that already knows how this soil behaves after a monsoon and after a freeze.

Septic installation

New systems for homes, shops, and cabins. Concrete tanks and rock leach fields when the soil calls for it. Plastic and alternative systems when that’s the right Plan B.

Repair & leach fields

Failing drain fields, tank access, line issues, and replacements. We dig to the problem instead of guessing from the driveway.

Perc & design help

Site evaluation support and install work that matches county requirements in the White Mountains.

Site prep & grading

Pads, driveways, lot work, and rough grade for new builds and additions. Property development dirt work, not just a septic hole.

Backhoe excavation

Utility trenching, in-ground propane tanks, roads, and the odd jobs that need a thumb and a operator who lives here.

Lot clearing & dirt work

Clearing, cut and fill, and moving material so the next trade can actually start.

This ground is different

Valley systems fail up here because the clay doesn’t let water go. We plan around that instead of fighting it after the first wet winter.

L&M Septic and Excavation is a White Mountains outfit. We install systems that belong in this dirt, then use the same backhoe for site work so you are not coordinating three subcontractors for one pad and one tank.

Plan A: concrete tanks and rock leach fields.
Plan B: plastic and alternative systems.

Same machine. Same crew. Call if the hole needs to be right.
