Mulch & Gravel in Severance, CO

Brooks Landscape has been designing and installing mulch & gravel for homeowners in Severance since 2006. Severance sits at the intersection of rural and residential Northern Colorado, and the properties here range from newer subdivisions to parcels with genuine room to work with. 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

  • Organic and wood-chip mulch options
  • Decorative gravel and river rock
  • Weed barrier installation where appropriate
  • Edging and bed definition
  • Grading and drainage integration

How We Work

Mulch and gravel work looks simple, but the difference between a professional installation and a DIY job shows within one season. Depth, substrate prep, edging, and material selection all determine how well the installation performs over time.

Brooks Landscape installs both organic mulch and decorative gravel for residential properties across Northern Colorado. We handle the full scope: edging definition, weed barrier where appropriate, proper depth installation, and grading to prevent material migration after heavy rain.

For mulch, we typically install 3 inches of shredded wood mulch—enough to suppress weeds and retain moisture without the matting that comes with overly thick applications. For gravel, we work with homeowners on material selection (pea gravel, river rock, crusher fines, and decomposed granite are all options depending on the application) and install over appropriate geotextile to prevent migration into soil.

Bed definition and edging are part of every installation. A sharp edge between mulch and turf, or gravel and planting beds, is what makes the rest of the landscape look intentional.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does mulch need to be refreshed?
Organic mulch typically needs refreshing every 1 to 2 years as it breaks down. We recommend an annual top-dress to maintain consistent depth and appearance.
Should I use weed barrier under gravel?
For most residential gravel applications, yes. We use commercial-grade geotextile that allows water through while preventing weed growth and gravel-soil mixing. We'll advise where barrier makes sense and where it can be skipped.
What's the difference between gravel types?
Pea gravel is round and mobile—good for drainage applications but not ideal for high-traffic paths. Crusher fines and decomposed granite compact and stay put. River rock is larger and decorative. We'll help you choose the right material for each application.
Do you serve all of Severance?
Yes. We serve Severance and the surrounding Weld County communities including Severance town center, North Severance, Rural parcels west of town, CR 74 corridor, and more. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
