Licensed contractor in Huerfano 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 Huerfano 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 Huerfano County terrain inside and out — high mesa and Sangre foothills under the Spanish Peaks, with clay and rocky soils. Whether your property is in Walsenburg, La Veta and Gardner, we deliver site work built for Spanish Peaks country conditions and permitted under Huerfano 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 Huerfano County Public Health review the first time, without the back-and-forth that stalls a Huerfano County build.
