Water Features in Severance, CO

Brooks Landscape has been designing and installing water features 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.

How We Work

A well-designed water feature changes the character of a yard completely. The sound of moving water, the visual focal point, the habitat for birds and beneficial insects—these are things that photographs of a yard can't capture but that make every outdoor hour better.

Brooks Landscape designs and builds water features that are built for Northern Colorado's climate—meaning they're designed to drain and winterize correctly so freeze-thaw cycles don't damage plumbing or rock work. We've seen what happens to water features that weren't built with our winters in mind.

We build backyard ponds, koi ponds, natural rock waterfalls, pondless waterfall systems, and fountain features ranging from simple bubblers to elaborate multi-tier installations. Every water feature is designed as part of the overall landscape composition—the rock selection, the planting around it, and the view from the house are all considered from the start.

Pondless waterfall systems are an increasingly popular choice for homeowners who want the sound and visual of moving water without the maintenance demands and safety concerns of an open pond.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do water features handle Northern Colorado winters?
We design every water feature for proper winterization. Pondless systems drain automatically. Ponds are designed with adequate depth so they don't freeze solid, and plumbing is positioned to allow complete drainage. We review winterization procedure with you at project completion.
How much does a water feature cost?
Simple fountain or bubbler features start around $1,500–$3,000. Natural rock waterfall installations typically run $5,000–$15,000+ depending on scale. Full pond systems vary widely with size and complexity. We provide detailed proposals after a site visit.
Are water features high maintenance?
They require periodic maintenance—algae management, pump cleaning, seasonal startup and shutdown—but not daily attention. We design for ease of maintenance and can provide ongoing care as part of a maintenance program.
Do you serve all of Severance?
