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 Teller County Public Health permit stands on.
Service Area · Pikes Peak / mountain
Senior-led septic, excavation, driveways, water storage, and custom building across Teller County — Pikes Peak / mountain at 8,000–10,000 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 Teller 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 Teller County terrain inside and out — steep granite slopes, decomposed-granite soils, and heavy winter snow load. Whether your property is in Woodland Park, Divide, Florissant and Cripple Creek, we deliver site work built for Pikes Peak / mountain conditions and permitted under Teller County Public Health and Colorado’s Regulation 43.
What we handle in Teller 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 Teller County Public Health permit stands on.
Full onsite wastewater systems — conventional, pressure-dosed, and advanced-treatment — installed for Pikes Peak / mountain ground and Teller County Public Health review.
Access, building pad, utilities, and all-weather driveways cut for Teller County — steep granite slopes, decomposed-granite soils, and heavy winter snow load.
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 Teller 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 Teller County Public Health review the first time, without the back-and-forth that stalls a Teller County build.

Where we work in Teller County
We serve Woodland Park, Divide, Florissant, Cripple Creek and Green Mountain Falls and the surrounding Pikes Peak / mountain high country, out from Cripple Creek. At 8,000–10,000 ft, Teller County brings steep granite slopes, decomposed-granite soils, and heavy winter snow load — conditions our crews work in every week, not once a season.
Teller 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 Teller County Public Health under Colorado Regulation 43. On Pikes Peak / mountain ground — steep granite slopes, decomposed-granite soils, and heavy winter snow load — 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 Teller County.
Woodland Park, Divide, Florissant, Cripple Creek and Green Mountain Falls and the surrounding high country, out from Cripple Creek. If your lot is raw Pikes Peak / mountain ground, that’s exactly the work we’re built for.
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 Teller County Public Health review the first time.
