Brooks Landscape has been designing and installing trees & shrubs for homeowners in Eaton since 2006. Eaton is where Brooks Landscape is based, and we've been serving homeowners here since the company started in 2006. Our crews know Weld County's soil conditions, drainage patterns, and local permit requirements — and we build every project to last through Northern Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles.

  • Proper hole prep and backfill
  • Ball-and-burlap and container stock
  • Staking and establishment support
  • Integration with irrigation system

How We Work

Trees and shrubs are the longest-term investments in your landscape. Planted correctly in the right location, they provide decades of shade, screening, structure, and habitat. Planted wrong—wrong species, wrong location, wrong depth—they decline slowly and cost more to remove than they ever gave back.

Brooks Landscape selects trees and shrubs for what works in Northern Colorado: our alkaline soils, intense summer UV, late frosts, and the freeze-thaw cycling that damages bark and root systems in poorly planted specimens. We're committed to the right plant in the right place on every project.

We work with both balled-and-burlapped stock for larger specimens and container stock for smaller plantings. Hole preparation is done correctly—not too deep, not too narrow—and backfill is not amended in most cases, because amended backfill creates a container effect that prevents roots from transitioning into native soil. We stake trees appropriately and advise on establishment watering.

Species we commonly work with include ornamental trees (Crabapple, Serviceberry, Redbud), shade trees (Bur Oak, Kentucky Coffeetree, Hackberry), and screening shrubs (native Lilac, Viburnum, Potentilla) that all perform reliably across the Front Range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What trees do well in Northern Colorado?
Proven performers include Bur Oak, Kentucky Coffeetree, Hackberry, Chinkapin Oak, and Serviceberry for shade and ornamental use. We also install conifers including Colorado Blue Spruce and Ponderosa Pine where exposure and soil allow.
How large of a tree can you install?
We regularly install trees up to 3-inch caliper using equipment as needed for larger specimens. For very large specimen trees, we'll let you know what's feasible on your specific site.
When is the best time to plant trees?
Spring and fall are best for establishing trees in Northern Colorado. Fall planting allows roots to develop over winter before summer heat stress. We'll advise on timing based on your project schedule.
