Service Area · Denver metro / eastern plains
Senior-led septic, excavation, driveways, water storage, and custom building across Arapahoe County — Denver metro / eastern plains at 5,300–5,800 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 Arapahoe 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 Arapahoe County terrain inside and out — metro edge giving way to open eastern-plains parcels. Whether your property is in Aurora, Byers and Deer Trail, we deliver site work built for Denver metro / eastern plains conditions and permitted under Arapahoe County (Tri-County Health successor agency) and Colorado’s Regulation 43.
What we handle in Arapahoe County

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 Arapahoe 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 Arapahoe County (Tri-County Health successor agency) review the first time, without the back-and-forth that stalls a Arapahoe County build.

Where we work in Arapahoe County
We serve Aurora, Byers and Deer Trail and the surrounding Denver metro / eastern plains high country, out from Littleton. At 5,300–5,800 ft, Arapahoe County brings metro edge giving way to open eastern-plains parcels — conditions our crews work in every week, not once a season.
Arapahoe 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 Arapahoe County (Tri-County Health successor agency) under Colorado Regulation 43. On Denver metro / eastern plains ground — metro edge giving way to open eastern-plains parcels — 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 Arapahoe County.
