How We Work
A pergola changes how you use your outdoor space. Overhead structure provides partial shade, defines the living area, creates a visual anchor for furniture arrangement, and gives climbing plants a place to grow. Done right, it makes the yard feel like an outdoor room.
Brooks Landscape designs and builds pergolas in-house. We don't subcontract the carpentry. That means precise joinery, proper post setting for Northern Colorado's wind loads, and a finished product that holds up structurally over time.
We work with cedar, redwood, and composite materials depending on the application and the homeowner's maintenance preferences. Cedar weathers beautifully but requires periodic sealing. Composite materials hold their appearance with minimal upkeep and are an increasingly popular choice for our climate.
Lighting and fan junction boxes are roughed in during construction so you can add fixtures without retrofitting. Climbing plant integration—whether that's a wisteria, trumpet vine, or climbing rose—is planned from the start so the structure is built to handle the load and the growth pattern.
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.
