Soak Well Suggestions

Page 1 of 1
Finally got the Soakwell at my house sucked out. Now I’m looking for ideas on how to hide it as it’s a bit of an eye sore. I’m thinking I’d like to turf over the top and install a riser with a small grate so in heavy downpours water can overflow. I’d probably have to core drill a hole into the concrete lid to do this.


I’m also getting mixed comments on what to do with it. I’ve heard of filling it with stones and geo and demolishing the lid but I’ve also heard this will just reduce the capacity. Keen to hear some suggestions for how to hide it.

Also, the well has no holes in the side. Based on the stones in the bottom, I think the only way for the water to drain is through the bottom.

Dry Well in the backyard

It's possible but a soak well is usually much larger. Your 'soak well' only holds 424 litres when full. What is your soil type? Soak wells need sandy soils.
