Service Area · Denver metro / plains
Senior-led septic, excavation, driveways, water storage, and custom building across Adams County — Denver metro / plains at 4,900–5,400 ft — with the hard mountain site work handled in-house.
We do more than dig a hole and drop in a tank.
Tri-Lakes Contracting is a licensed septic installer, excavation contractor, and custom home builder working throughout Adams County. Site work and septic permitting are the critical first steps before you can even break ground on a build — and they’re exactly what we handle, start to finish.
Because we hold the septic, driveway, and building sides in-house, we bundle them into one path instead of stitching together three separate contractors: soil testing and engineered design, excavation and grading, the septic system, water storage, and the home itself — one crew, one point of contact, on your schedule.
We know Adams County terrain inside and out — flat eastern plains with expansive clay and sandy loam soils. Whether your property is in Brighton, Bennett and Strasburg, we deliver site work built for Denver metro / plains conditions and permitted under Adams County (Tri-County Health successor agency) and Colorado’s Regulation 43.
What we handle in Adams County
We excavate profile test pits, work with licensed engineers on the soils report and site plan, and lay out the drain field, tank, and setbacks — the design your Adams County (Tri-County Health successor agency) permit stands on.
Full onsite wastewater systems — conventional, pressure-dosed, and advanced-treatment — installed for Denver metro / plains ground and Adams County (Tri-County Health successor agency) review.
Access, building pad, utilities, and all-weather driveways cut for Adams County — flat eastern plains with expansive clay and sandy loam soils.
Buried cisterns and fire-suppression storage for lots without a reliable well, or where the county requires stored water on site.
From a build-ready design or your own plans, we take a raw Adams County lot through to a finished, permitted home.
Before you buy or build, a clear read on what the lot can support — soil, slope, setbacks, water, and the permit path.

What we don’t do
We don’t design or stamp septic systems ourselves — that work is always completed by a licensed engineer. But we work closely with our engineering partners so you receive a complete, permit-ready package that passes Adams County (Tri-County Health successor agency) review the first time, without the back-and-forth that stalls a Adams County build.
Already have engineered septic or OWTS plans? Upload the PDF for an instant Colorado installation estimate, then have Tri-Lakes, a licensed Colorado OWTS installer, price and build the system.
Where we work in Adams County
We serve Brighton, Bennett and Strasburg and the surrounding Denver metro / plains high country, out from Brighton. At 4,900–5,400 ft, Adams County brings flat eastern plains with expansive clay and sandy loam soils — conditions our crews work in every week, not once a season.
Adams County — questions
Yes. We excavate the soil test pits, coordinate the engineered design with a licensed engineer, and hand you a permit-ready package for Adams County (Tri-County Health successor agency) under Colorado Regulation 43. On Denver metro / plains ground — flat eastern plains with expansive clay and sandy loam soils — that soil evaluation is what the whole system is designed from.
That’s our model. Because we hold the septic, excavation, and building sides in-house, we sequence them into one path — soil test, design, driveway, septic, water, and the home — instead of you chasing three contractors across Adams County.
