Did you know that springtime installation of an underground propane tank allows for a better looking lawn, easier installation, and convenient scheduling?
Spring installation gives your lawn more recovery time…
Your grass will have more recovery time if your underground propane tank installation is completed in the spring. A spring propane tank installation allows for grass seed to sprout, and late spring and early summer is the best time to plant grass seed. Also, spring’s cooler temperatures, plentiful rain, and sunlight are best for growing grass or sod.
Frozen ground delays underground propane tank installation…
If the ground is frozen, your propane vendor will not be able to excavate your lawn and install the propane tank. The soil conditions are important because propane vendors need to:
- Ensure the foundation is firm
- Properly secure the container to prevent movement or “tank floating”
- Backfill the hole with rock-free dirt, or other abrasives
- Cover the container with 1’ or more of earth
- Place a dome above ground to protect the valve.
Schedule your underground propane tank installation in the spring when the soil in your yard softens up.
Schedule installation on your own terms…
You can choose anytime between spring and the middle of fall to install your propane tank, but if you mark your calendar for underground propane tank installation in the sunny off-season, you’ll have a more flexible schedule.
Keep in mind the underground tank installation will delay any precision yard work. Getting the installation finished in spring also gives you ample time to do any gardening or landscaping in preparation for the outdoor season.
