Our Approach

Premier Custom Landscapes is Longmont's local landscape design and build company, serving homeowners in neighborhoods from Old Town and Prospect New Town to Southmoor Park, Renaissance, and Quail Ridge. Whether you're working with a mature Old Town lot, a newer build in Prospect with tighter HOA guidelines, or a larger southeast Longmont property, we design outdoor spaces that hold up to Longmont's clay-heavy soil, hail-prone summers, and hard freeze-thaw winters, and look great doing it.

From custom paver patios and pergolas to full backyard renovations with pools, ponds, and outdoor kitchens, our team handles design, installation, and ongoing maintenance so your project is right the first time.

Why Longmont Homeowners Choose Premier Custom Landscapes

Longmont sits at the intersection of Front Range clay soil, a semi-arid climate, and a housing stock that ranges from century-old Old Town properties to newer HOA-governed developments — each with different landscaping needs and restrictions. As a locally owned company, we build with that in mind:

  • Soil & drainage: Longmont's clay soil holds water poorly and compacts hard, which is why proper grading and drainage planning matters before any patio, pool, or planting bed goes in.

  • HOA-friendly design: Neighborhoods like Prospect New Town and Renaissance often have specific landscaping guidelines, we design within those requirements without sacrificing style.

  • Water-wise plantings: With Longmont's water restrictions and dry summers, xeriscape-friendly designs using native and drought-tolerant plants keep yards looking good year-round while cutting water bills.

  • Freeze-thaw resilience: Hardscaping, patios, retaining walls, walkways need proper base prep to survive Longmont's freeze-thaw cycles without heaving or cracking.

Backyard patio with large rectangular concrete pavers, smaller round river rocks, and a built-in concrete bench, enclosed by a wooden fence with small trees and shrubs outside.

Longmont Landscaping FAQ

  • Yes — we regularly work within HOA landscaping guidelines and can help prepare designs and materials lists for approval submissions.

  • Both pavers and concrete hold up well, but pavers offer more flexibility with freeze-thaw movement and are easier to repair individually if a section shifts. We'll walk you through the trade-offs based on your yard.

  • Clay soil compacts and drains poorly, so proper excavation, base material, and grading are critical for patios, retaining walls, and plant beds to prevent settling or standing water.

  • Yes, we offer xeriscape design using drought-tolerant native plants, efficient drip irrigation, and decorative rock is one of our most requested services in Longmont.

  • Spring through early fall is peak season, and our calendar fills quickly,. we recommend reaching out 4–8 weeks before you'd like work to start. Although we do run our best deals on landscaping in the off season. Get in touch about seasonal savings.
