Peat filters, aerial fill (mound) systems, and other above-ground wastewater treatment systems can require creative landscaping to help them blend in or be aesthetically pleasing. This peat filter will have steps, for education purposes; however, the other sides of the filter will be landscaped.

One homeowner built a deck over the filter. The decktop could be removed when servicing was required. This is not approved in all areas, so be sure to ask local health department personnel what may be done.
