Is this for a new house? If new, you should have got a percolation test done and in that report it would have described the percolation area for you, be it below ground or raised bed??
If it is raised bed then it would be pumped from the system, otherwise it is usually gravity fed ie. pipes below the invert level of the outlet pipe from your tank system.
