Service Area · Middle Park / headwaters

Licensed contractor in Grand County, Colorado

Senior-led septic, excavation, driveways, water storage, and custom building across Grand County — Middle Park / headwaters at 7,500–9,000 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 Grand 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 Grand County terrain inside and out — open Middle Park meadow, high water tables near the headwaters, and cold soils. Whether your property is in Granby, Winter Park, Fraser and Grand Lake, we deliver site work built for Middle Park / headwaters conditions and permitted under Grand County Public Health and Colorado’s Regulation 43.

What we handle in Grand County

Soil testing & engineered design

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 Grand County Public Health permit stands on.

Septic / OWTS installation

Full onsite wastewater systems — conventional, pressure-dosed, and advanced-treatment — installed for Middle Park / headwaters ground and Grand County Public Health review.

Excavation, grading & driveways

Access, building pad, utilities, and all-weather driveways cut for Grand County — open Middle Park meadow, high water tables near the headwaters, and cold soils.

Water storage & cisterns

Buried cisterns and fire-suppression storage for lots without a reliable well, or where the county requires stored water on site.

Custom home construction

From a build-ready design or your own plans, we take a raw Grand County lot through to a finished, permitted home.

Feasibility & site planning

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

Where we work in Grand County

We serve Granby, Winter Park, Fraser, Grand Lake and Kremmling and the surrounding Middle Park / headwaters high country, out from Hot Sulphur Springs. At 7,500–9,000 ft, Grand County brings open Middle Park meadow, high water tables near the headwaters, and cold soils — conditions our crews work in every week, not once a season.

Grand County — questions

Do you handle septic permitting in Grand County?

Yes. We excavate the soil test pits, coordinate the engineered design with a licensed engineer, and hand you a permit-ready package for Grand County Public Health under Colorado Regulation 43. On Middle Park / headwaters ground — open Middle Park meadow, high water tables near the headwaters, and cold soils — that soil evaluation is what the whole system is designed from.

Can you bundle septic, driveway, and the house together?

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 Grand County.

Which Grand County towns do you work in?

Granby, Winter Park, Fraser, Grand Lake and Kremmling and the surrounding high country, out from Hot Sulphur Springs. If your lot is raw Middle Park / headwaters ground, that’s exactly the work we’re built for.

What don’t you do?

We don’t design or stamp septic systems ourselves — that’s always done by a licensed engineer. We work hand-in-hand with our engineering partners so your package passes Grand County Public Health review the first time.
