I'd be more concerned that she can't coordinate that repair with more than a month lead time.
According to what I heard, the yard abuts conservation land, so they need to ask conservation people to inspect and approve. They are slow to respond.
This actually raises another question. Would the conservation land affect what I can do in my yard? The lot size is 0.71 acres, with quite a lot of trees in it (and I want to cut some of them).

What does conservation land mean? The County Forest preserve? An uber protected wetland that has the last remaining population of the slug nosed salamander? Wetlands?
Setting up an escrow fund is okay for smaller repairs, but even then it should only be used as a last resort. I would insist on delaying the closing until the septic system is completed to everyone's satisfaction and it has passed all local inspection requirements.
As for the "conservation land", you'll need to better define what that is. Generally, if your property is adjacent to conserved land it has no bearing upon what you can do on your property...provided, of course, that you don't do something that directly impacts the adjacent land.

Do you mean "cut" as in "prune" or as in "cut down" and remove?
Be sure to check with the city/town/county to see if there is a tree ordinance that prohibits trees of a certain trunk size from being removed. You may be faced with fines and tree replacement if you do not get permission for tree removal, if that is what you seek.
As I said before, I would walk. Conservation land may prevent what you can do on your land. I had a stream on my property that flowed from "wetlands". I couldn't change the stream (build up the sides or change the level) due to the impact it would have upstream.
You may not be able to remove trees due to impact on water table.
