Licensed contractor in Elbert County, Colorado

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 Elbert 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 Elbert County terrain inside and out — rolling Palmer Divide grassland and rural acreages with sandy loam to clay soils. Whether your property is in Elizabeth, Kiowa, Elbert and Simla, we deliver site work built for Palmer Divide / eastern plains conditions and permitted under Elbert County Public Health and Colorado’s Regulation 43.

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 Elbert County Public Health review the first time, without the back-and-forth that stalls a Elbert County build.

Where we work in Elbert County

We serve Elizabeth, Kiowa, Elbert and Simla and the surrounding Palmer Divide / eastern plains high country, out from Kiowa. At 5,600–7,200 ft, Elbert County brings rolling Palmer Divide grassland and rural acreages with sandy loam to clay soils — conditions our crews work in every week, not once a season.
