Landscape Design in Johnstown, CO

Brooks Landscape has been designing and installing landscape design for homeowners in Johnstown since 2006. Johnstown sits at the Weld-Larimer County line, and the properties here range from established homes near the older core of town to new construction in the growing neighborhoods to the east. Our crews know Weld & Larimer 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

  • Site discovery and drainage evaluation
  • Detailed planting plans with mature sizes shown
  • Hardscape integration for patios, paths, and walls
  • Water-wise design with xeric and native options
  • 4-phase Design-Build process

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

Johnstown is served by the Town of Johnstown Water Department, with some areas also connected to the Little Thompson Water District. We verify service before sizing your irrigation system and design for efficiency given the growing demand on Front Range water supplies.

Permits for structural landscape work in Johnstown are issued through the Town of Johnstown Building Department or Weld/Larimer County depending on parcel location. We identify the right jurisdiction and manage the permit process as part of your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge separately for design work?
Design fees are typically rolled into the construction proposal when you move forward with Brooks for the build. For larger or more complex projects, we sometimes quote design separately. We'll be clear about this at the first meeting.
How long does the design process take?
A typical residential landscape design takes 2 to 4 weeks from initial site visit to final plan, depending on complexity. Larger or phased projects may run longer.
Can you work with our existing landscape?
Yes. Most of our projects involve integrating new design into an existing yard. We design around mature trees, established beds, and existing irrigation wherever possible.
Can we phase the project over multiple years?
Yes, and we frequently do. Many homeowners design the full property up front and build it in phases as budget allows. The plan stays cohesive even when construction spans multiple seasons.
Do you serve all of Johnstown?
Yes. We serve Johnstown and the surrounding Weld & Larimer County communities including Downtown Johnstown, Johnstown Village, Pioneer Ridge, Johnstown Farms, and more. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
What are permit requirements for landscape design in Johnstown?
Permits for structural landscape work in Johnstown are issued through the Town of Johnstown Building Department or Weld/Larimer County depending on parcel location. We identify the right jurisdiction and manage the permit process as part of your project.
