Fort Collins Landscaping Company Built for Colorado's Front Range

A two-story house with outdoor sitting area, surrounded by a landscaped yard with green grass, plants, and flower beds, located in a neighborhood with trees and neighboring houses.

Our Approach

Premier Custom Landscapes designs and builds outdoor living spaces for homeowners throughout Fort Collins, from Old Town and Old Town North to Midtown, Southeast Fort Collins, and the foothill-adjacent neighborhoods on the west side of town. Fort Collins is a bigger, more varied city than many of the towns we serve, which means terrain, soil, and climate exposure can look different from one neighborhood to the next, west-side properties closer to the foothills, east-side lots on flatter plains, and homes along the Poudre River corridor all call for different design decisions.

Fort Collins is also no stranger to severe summer hailstorms, which makes durable, hail-resistant hardscape and structure materials worth planning for from the start. Whether it's a patio and pergola built to hold up through Colorado weather, a full backyard renovation, or a water-wise redesign that works with Fort Collins Utilities' conservation goals, our team manages design, installation, and maintenance from start to finish.

Why Fort Collins Homeowners Choose Premier Custom Landscapes

Fort Collins' size and geography mean landscaping needs vary more here than in smaller towns nearby:

  • Hail-prone summers: Fort Collins sees some of the most frequent and severe hailstorms on the Front Range. We factor that into material choices for patios, pergolas, and outdoor structures so they hold up over time.

  • Varied terrain across town: West-side, foothill-adjacent properties often have rockier, sloped ground, while east-side neighborhoods sit on flatter clay-based soil, each requiring different grading and drainage approaches.

  • Poudre River corridor considerations: Properties near the Poudre River may fall within floodplain zones, which can affect what's permitted and how drainage needs to be handled.

  • Water-wise design: Fort Collins Utilities actively promotes water conservation and offers programs supporting xeriscape and efficient irrigation, we design landscapes that take advantage of that rather than work against it.

  • A city of varied housing stock: From historic Old Town lots to newer Southeast Fort Collins developments (some with active HOAs) to CSU-area rental properties, we tailor design to the property type and its use.
