Mulch & Gravel in Wellington, CO

Brooks Landscape has been designing and installing mulch & gravel for homeowners in Wellington since 2006.

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 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.
