That's just nuts! We have septic and are uber careful about what we do near, around, and over our tank. It sits in our back yard with the leach lines running off to the side of the house. We tell every contractor exactly where it sits so no heavy equipment drives over it. Nothing heavier than our riding lawnmower is allowed. We had an above ground pool, deck, and patio installed and watched the contractors like a hawk. Right now we have a lightweight decorative gravel over it because it makes it easier to remove the gravel to access the lid for pumping every few years rather than dig up sod and have to replant grass.
I cannot believe they've never had it pumped!! That might be worse than planting a tree on top!
