How We Work

Drainage problems in Northern Colorado properties are common and often underestimated. Builder grading on new construction isn't finished for landscape performance. Clay soils shed water rather than absorbing it. Low spots that don't seem like a problem in dry years become soggy, dead zones in a wet spring or fall.

Brooks Landscape diagnoses drainage issues before proposing solutions. Where is the water coming from? What's blocking it from moving? Where does it need to go? Without those answers, any drainage installation risks moving a problem rather than solving it.

We install French drains, surface and area drains, dry creek bed channels, and downspout management systems. We also regrade existing landscape areas where the grade itself is the problem rather than a lack of infrastructure.

Drainage solutions are designed to outlet correctly—to the street, a dry well, or a legal discharge point. We evaluate your property and local codes to make sure water ends up where it's supposed to.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a French drain?
Signs include chronic wet spots in the yard, soggy turf that doesn't dry out after rain, water pooling against the foundation, or basement moisture issues that don't respond to interior waterproofing. A site evaluation will tell us which drainage approach fits.
What does a French drain installation cost?
French drain costs depend on length, depth, outlet complexity, and site access. Simple perimeter drains can run $1,500–$4,000. Complex systems with multiple inlets, catch basins, and long outlet runs can be significantly more. We provide detailed proposals after a site evaluation.
Will drainage work affect my existing landscape?
French drain installation requires excavation, which will affect some turf and planting. We minimize disturbance and restore disturbed areas as part of the installation scope.
Do you serve all of Windsor?
Yes. We serve Windsor and the surrounding Larimer & Weld County communities including Water Valley, Raindance, Pelican Lakes, Harbor Village, and more. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
What are permit requirements for yard drainage in Windsor?
