Yard Drainage in Greeley, CO

Brooks Landscape has been designing and installing yard drainage 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

  • French drain systems
  • Surface and area drains
  • Dry creek bed drainage channels
  • Swale grading and regrading
  • Downspout and foundation drainage

How We Work

Drainage problems in Northern Colorado properties are common and often underestimated. Builder grading on new construction isn't finished for landscape performance. Clay soils shed water rather than absorbing it. Low spots that don't seem like a problem in dry years become soggy, dead zones in a wet spring or fall.

Brooks Landscape diagnoses drainage issues before proposing solutions. Where is the water coming from? What's blocking it from moving? Where does it need to go? Without those answers, any drainage installation risks moving a problem rather than solving it.

We install French drains, surface and area drains, dry creek bed channels, and downspout management systems. We also regrade existing landscape areas where the grade itself is the problem rather than a lack of infrastructure.

Drainage solutions are designed to outlet correctly—to the street, a dry well, or a legal discharge point. We evaluate your property and local codes to make sure water ends up where it's supposed to.

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 I need a French drain?
Signs include chronic wet spots in the yard, soggy turf that doesn't dry out after rain, water pooling against the foundation, or basement moisture issues that don't respond to interior waterproofing. A site evaluation will tell us which drainage approach fits.
What does a French drain installation cost?
French drain costs depend on length, depth, outlet complexity, and site access. Simple perimeter drains can run $1,500–$4,000. Complex systems with multiple inlets, catch basins, and long outlet runs can be significantly more. We provide detailed proposals after a site evaluation.
Will drainage work affect my existing landscape?
French drain installation requires excavation, which will affect some turf and planting. We minimize disturbance and restore disturbed areas as part of the installation scope.
Do you serve all of Greeley?
Yes. We serve Greeley and the surrounding Weld County communities including Glenmere Park area, West Greeley, South Greeley, Downtown Greeley, and more. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
What are permit requirements for yard drainage in Greeley?
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.
