Service Area · Blue River / ski country
Senior-led septic, excavation, driveways, water storage, and custom building across Summit County — Blue River / ski country at 9,000–10,500 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 Summit 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 Summit County terrain inside and out — high-alpine soils, deep snow load, and short frost-free windows. Whether your property is in Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne and Dillon, we deliver site work built for Blue River / ski country conditions and permitted under Summit County Public Health / Environmental Health and Colorado’s Regulation 43.
What we handle in Summit County
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 Summit County Public Health / Environmental Health permit stands on.
Full onsite wastewater systems — conventional, pressure-dosed, and advanced-treatment — installed for Blue River / ski country ground and Summit County Public Health / Environmental Health review.
Access, building pad, utilities, and all-weather driveways cut for Summit County — high-alpine soils, deep snow load, and short frost-free windows.
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 Summit 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 Summit County Public Health / Environmental Health review the first time, without the back-and-forth that stalls a Summit County build.

Where we work in Summit County
We serve Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne and Dillon and the surrounding Blue River / ski country high country, out from Breckenridge. At 9,000–10,500 ft, Summit County brings high-alpine soils, deep snow load, and short frost-free windows — conditions our crews work in every week, not once a season.
Summit 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 Summit County Public Health / Environmental Health under Colorado Regulation 43. On Blue River / ski country ground — high-alpine soils, deep snow load, and short frost-free windows — 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 Summit County.

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 Summit County Public Health / Environmental Health review the first time.
