Septic & Excavation Challenges in Locust Grove
Locust Grove stretches along the Route 3 corridor in Orange County, sharing the 22508 zip code with Lake of the Woods and serving as a gateway between the gated community and the Wilderness area to the east.

New subdivisions are being built on previously agricultural land, which generally percs well for conventional systems.
