How We Work

Annuals are how you change the look of your property every season without committing to a full landscape redesign. A well-planned annual program brings color from late spring through first frost, and seasonal refreshes keep the impact strong through fall.

Brooks Landscape designs and installs custom annual color schemes for Northern Colorado homeowners, with plant selections matched to your sun exposure, color preferences, and the architecture of your home.

Annual planting looks straightforward but is one of the easiest landscape services to get wrong. Spacing, soil prep, timing, and sun evaluation all matter—especially in a climate that swings from late frosts in May to triple-digit heat by July. We know what performs in Northern Colorado and what burns out by August.

We source from established Front Range nurseries and install everything ourselves. Whether you want a single bed refreshed or a full property annual program, we size the service to what you need.

Local Water & Permit Context

As a Fort Collins Water Wise Partner, Brooks Landscape designs irrigation systems and plant selections to meet City of Fort Collins water-efficiency standards. Fort Collins enforces outdoor water budgets and seasonal watering schedules—we build compliance in from the start so you're never left scrambling after a project is in the ground.

Fort Collins requires permits for certain hardscape projects, retaining walls over 30 inches, and significant grading work. Brooks Landscape coordinates all required permits through the City of Fort Collins Development Review Center and handles utility locates before any excavation begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do annuals need to be replaced?
Most annual programs run two cycles—a spring/summer planting and a fall refresh. We time both to Northern Colorado's frost dates so you get maximum color without losing plants to late or early freezes.
Can you match my existing color scheme?
Yes. We'll discuss your preferences at the initial site visit and select species and colors that work with your home's exterior, existing perennials, and any hardscape materials.
Do you offer container and hanging basket service?
Yes. We plant and install custom containers and hanging baskets for entries, patios, and decks. We can include these in a bed planting program or handle them separately.
Do you serve all of Fort Collins?
Yes. We serve Fort Collins and the surrounding Larimer County communities including Harmony Corridor, Fossil Creek, Old Town, Rigden Farm, and more. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
What are permit requirements for annual planting in Fort Collins?
