Maples gave us a hard time here but were growing into outflow right near tank and backing it up, not drain fields. Removed the trees and problem solved.
First home had terra drain pipe and they were crushed degraded. Had same water pooling you described. Local septic guy installed a pit adjacent to tank, coiled drain pipe in it and back filled with gravel. Solved it at that house till we sold it years later. Said with right soil type it was a better fix than replacing lines.
