Grading & Leveling in Greeley, CO

Brooks Landscape has been designing and installing grading & leveling for homeowners in Greeley since 2006. Greeley homeowners deal with some of the windiest and driest conditions in Northern Colorado, and landscape design here has to account for that. 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.

What's Included

  • Drainage-away-from-structure grading
  • Low spot and ponding correction
  • Finished grade for sod or planting
  • Retaining wall integration
  • Equipment-capable crews for all site sizes

How We Work

Most landscape problems—from soggy turf to cracking hardscape to foundation moisture—trace back to grade issues that weren't addressed when the landscape was first installed. Brooks Landscape handles residential grading and leveling as both a standalone service and as the first phase of any larger landscape project.

On new properties, especially those in newer subdivisions where builder grading was rough and not finished for landscaping, proper grade correction is the most important thing we can do before any planting or hardscape goes in. We establish positive drainage away from the structure, correct low spots that would otherwise pond, and create a finished grade appropriate for turf or planting.

On existing properties, we diagnose drainage problems first—where water is coming from, where it's going, and what's impeding its movement—before committing to a grading solution. Sometimes grade correction is the answer; sometimes it's a combination of grading and drainage infrastructure.

We use appropriate equipment for each site scale, from hand tools for tight residential access to compact track loaders and skid steers for more substantial grading work.

Local Water & Permit Context

Greeley Utilities manages water for the city, and Greeley has implemented tiered water pricing that rewards efficient irrigation. We design zone-by-zone to keep your water use in the lower tiers—both for your bill and for the city's conservation goals.

Weld County and the City of Greeley both have permitting requirements for structural landscape work. We identify which jurisdiction applies to your property and handle the permit process accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property has a grading problem?
Signs include water ponding in the yard after rain, soggy or dead turf in consistent low spots, water running toward the house foundation, or efflorescence on basement walls. If you're seeing any of these, it's worth having us evaluate the grade.
Does grading require permits?
Significant grading that moves more than a threshold volume of material (typically 50 cubic yards or more, but it varies by jurisdiction) may require a grading permit. We evaluate permit requirements for each project before work begins.
How much does grading cost?
Grading costs depend heavily on the volume of material to be moved, access constraints, and whether material needs to be imported or exported. We provide detailed proposals after a site assessment.
