Trees & Shrubs in Windsor, CO
Brooks Landscape has been designing and installing trees & shrubs for homeowners in Windsor since 2006. Windsor has grown faster than almost any other community in Northern Colorado, and Brooks Landscape has grown with it. Our crews know Larimer & 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
- Species selection for Northern Colorado climate
- Proper hole prep and backfill
- Ball-and-burlap and container stock
- Staking and establishment support
- Integration with irrigation system
How We Work
Trees and shrubs are the longest-term investments in your landscape. Planted correctly in the right location, they provide decades of shade, screening, structure, and habitat. Planted wrong—wrong species, wrong location, wrong depth—they decline slowly and cost more to remove than they ever gave back.
Brooks Landscape selects trees and shrubs for what works in Northern Colorado: our alkaline soils, intense summer UV, late frosts, and the freeze-thaw cycling that damages bark and root systems in poorly planted specimens. We're committed to the right plant in the right place on every project.
We work with both balled-and-burlapped stock for larger specimens and container stock for smaller plantings. Hole preparation is done correctly—not too deep, not too narrow—and backfill is not amended in most cases, because amended backfill creates a container effect that prevents roots from transitioning into native soil. We stake trees appropriately and advise on establishment watering.
Species we commonly work with include ornamental trees (Crabapple, Serviceberry, Redbud), shade trees (Bur Oak, Kentucky Coffeetree, Hackberry), and screening shrubs (native Lilac, Viburnum, Potentilla) that all perform reliably across the Front Range.
Local Water & Permit Context
Windsor is served by both the Town of Windsor Water and Sewer Department and East Larimer County Water District depending on location. We confirm your service district before finalizing irrigation design so the system is sized and zoned correctly for your actual water supply.
Windsor requires permits for structural hardscape work including retaining walls, decks, and pergolas. The Town of Windsor Building Department processes residential permits and we coordinate that process on your behalf for any work that triggers a permit requirement.
