If you want to landscape around your well, it’s important to keep safety and accessibility in mind.
* Always keep the well cap easily accessible for future maintenance or inspections. Maintain a gentle outward slope in the grade.
* Do not use fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides within at least 100 feet of the well to prevent groundwater contamination.
* Choose plants with shallow roots like day lilies and irises.
