Strasburg is where Jones EarthWorks is based, so this is the ground we know best. The town grew up beside the Comanche Crossing of the Kansas Pacific Railroad and today sits along the I-70 corridor, about as far east of Denver as the metro reaches before it turns into open plains.
One detail matters more here than almost anywhere else: Strasburg straddles the Adams–Arapahoe county line. Which side your parcel is on decides which county reviews your building permit and which health department permits your septic system. Before a septic job or a new build, look up your parcel with the county assessor so the paperwork goes to the right office.
The work in Strasburg is mostly acreage work: long gravel driveways that washboard and rut, new shops and barns that need a level pad and power trenched out to them, water lines to hydrants and outbuildings, and culverts where driveways cross the ditch along the road. Wind is constant, the ground is open, and water from a summer storm moves fast across bare dirt, so every grade we cut is planned around where the water will go.

Local answers for Strasburg.
Which health department permits septic systems in Strasburg?
It depends on which side of the county line your parcel is on. Strasburg sits in both Adams and Arapahoe counties. On the Adams side, the Adams County Health Department handles septic permits; on the Arapahoe side, Arapahoe County Public Health does. Tri-County Health Department no longer covers either county. Check your parcel with the county assessor first.
Is Jones EarthWorks really local to Strasburg?
Yes. Jones EarthWorks LLC is a Colorado LLC based in Strasburg, 80136. We serve Strasburg, Bennett, Byers, eastern Aurora and the surrounding eastern Colorado communities. Call (720) 277-9760.
Can you trench power and water out to a new shop on my Strasburg acreage?
Yes. Trenching for water, sewer and electrical lines is our core work. We call in Colorado 811 locates before digging, dig to the depth your electrician, plumber or inspector needs, and backfill so the trench doesn’t settle. Private lines you installed yourself, like a line to a barn, aren’t marked by 811, so tell us about them.
Why does my Strasburg driveway keep washboarding?
Washboard usually comes from loose surface gravel, a driveway that has lost its crown, and traffic that bounces at the same rhythm every trip. Reshaping the crown, fixing the base where it has failed and adding the right surface gravel fixes the cause instead of just dragging it smooth for a month.
