Irrigation Systems in Wellington, CO

Brooks Landscape has been designing and installing irrigation systems for homeowners in Wellington since 2006.

Our crews know 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.

How We Work

Irrigation design matters more than most homeowners realize. A system sized and zoned for actual plant water needs uses 20 to 40 percent less water than a coverage-only system while maintaining a healthier landscape. In Northern Colorado, where outdoor water use is a real cost and water efficiency programs offer rebates, good irrigation design pays for itself.

Brooks Landscape designs irrigation systems zone-by-zone based on your plant types, sun exposure, slope, and soil. Turf zones, shrub zones, and drip zones each run at different rates and durations—and that's how the system is designed, not how it's adjusted by the homeowner after the fact.

We install Rain Bird and Hunter components for heads, valves, and mainline. For smart controllers, we use Rachio, which integrates with local weather data to adjust run times automatically based on rainfall and evapotranspiration. This is the most effective single upgrade for reducing outdoor water use.

Every system includes properly installed backflow prevention and pressure regulation to protect your household water supply and ensure consistent performance across all zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a smart irrigation controller worth it in Northern Colorado?
Yes. Weather-based smart controllers like Rachio typically reduce outdoor water use 20–30% compared to timer-only controllers by adjusting automatically for rainfall and temperature. They're also eligible for rebates through Fort Collins Utilities and other water providers.
How often does an irrigation system need maintenance?
Annual spring startup (activation, damage check, head adjustment) and fall winterization (air blowout) are the minimum. Mid-season head adjustments and controller programming updates keep the system running efficiently.
Can you upgrade my existing irrigation system?
Yes. We evaluate existing systems and recommend upgrades ranging from a smart controller swap to a full head replacement. We'll tell you honestly what's worth upgrading and what's fine to leave as-is.
Do you serve all of Wellington?
Yes. We serve Wellington and the surrounding Larimer County communities including Wellington town center, Boxelder Creek Ranch, Four Seasons, Wellington Farms, and more. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
What are permit requirements for irrigation systems in Wellington?
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.
