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
Wellington is served by the North Weld County Water District and Wellington's municipal water system. The growing community has seen increased summer demand—we design water-efficient systems that stay within service capacity while still giving your landscape what it needs.
Wellington building permits for decks, pergolas, and structural hardscape work are processed through Larimer County Building Permit Services or the Town of Wellington, depending on your parcel's jurisdiction. We confirm and manage that process for you.
