How We Work
A landscape design is the difference between a yard that works and a yard that doesn't. It accounts for how you actually use your outdoor space, how water moves across your property, what survives in Northern Colorado soils, and what your home's architecture supports.
Brooks Landscape has been designing custom residential landscapes across the Front Range since 2006. Because we also build what we design, the plans we hand you are buildable, on-budget, and grounded in two decades of actual construction experience in this climate.
Our four-step process covers everything: Site Discovery, Concept & Design, Planning & Prep, and Build & Maintain. We walk your property first, evaluate drainage and soil, talk through how you want to use the space, and then produce a detailed plan showing planting beds, hardscape elements, and irrigation zones.
Every design we produce is tailored to your property—not a template adapted to your address. We're committed to the right plant in the right place, which means evaluating sun exposure, water access, freeze-thaw exposure, and mature sizes before we recommend anything.
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.
