How We Work
A patio is only as good as what's under it. Northern Colorado's freeze-thaw cycling—sometimes 50+ freeze cycles per winter—destroys improperly based hardscape within a few years. The base preparation is where a professional installation separates from a short-lived one.
Brooks Landscape builds every patio on a properly compacted crushed stone base with appropriate depth for our climate conditions. We use commercial-grade compaction equipment and install edge restraints that keep pavers in place as the ground moves seasonally. Every patio is graded for drainage away from the structure before the first paver goes down.
We work with Belgard pavers and wall systems for many of our installations—a product line with proven durability and a wide selection of styles from traditional to contemporary. We also work with natural flagstone for a more organic aesthetic and poured concrete for specific applications.
Pathways and edge details are part of the design process, not an afterthought. The transition between your patio, lawn, and planting beds is part of the composition—we design it intentionally.
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.
