Licensed contractor in Fremont 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 Fremont 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 Fremont County terrain inside and out — canyon benches, shale and clay soils, and semi-arid slopes. Whether your property is in Cañon City, Florence, Penrose and Cotopaxi, we deliver site work built for Arkansas River canyon country conditions and permitted under Fremont County Environmental 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 Fremont County Environmental Health review the first time, without the back-and-forth that stalls a Fremont County build.
