Custom Water Features & Pondless Waterfalls in Loveland & NoCo

Transform your backyard into a serene outdoor retreat with a custom-built water feature from Backes Landscaping LLC. From low-maintenance pondless waterfalls and natural rock streams to architectural fountainscapes and outdoor water walls, we design and build custom water features tailored to Northern Colorado’s climate and layout.

Beyond adding lasting property value, a professionally engineered water feature creates a tranquil acoustic backdrop that drowns out neighborhood noise while attracting local wildlife. Whether integrated into a paver patio or designed as a standalone garden focal point, Michael Backes’s 20+ years of landscape installation experience ensures a leak-free, easy-to-maintain system built for NoCo winters.

Retaining Wall Builders & Erosion Control in Northern Colorado

Protect your property and maximize usable outdoor space with custom-engineered retaining walls from Backes Landscaping LLC. Northern Colorado’s unique topography and expansive soils require proper drainage planning and structural integrity to prevent soil erosion, slope failure, and foundation issues.

Whether you need a heavy-duty boulder retaining wall, an architectural stacked stone wall, or structural interlocking block retaining walls for terraced yards and elevated paver patios, our team combines structural stability with high-end aesthetic appeal. We also specialize in diagnosing and repairing failing or damaged retaining walls for homeowners and custom home builders across Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Longmont, and NoCo.

Contact Michael Backes at (970) 222-1730 to schedule a free on-site erosion assessment and retaining wall consultation.

Sprinkler Installation

The hot Northern Colorado summers can leave your lawn parched and damaged. The best way to make sure your grass is getting enough water is with a sprinkler system installation, as automatic sprinklers make it easier to properly water your lawn. While some people water every day, the trick is to do it less frequently but more deeply. Simply turn on your sprinkler system one to two times a week and water to a depth of four to five inches. This will encourage your grass to develop a robust root system that can beat the summer heat.

Taking good care of your lawn is key to beautiful landscaping and deep watering will keep your grass looking great, and this will also help avoid an entire lawn replacement. Backes Landscaping can design and install the ideal type of automatic sprinkler system for your property. We optimize your sprinkler zones for maximum efficiency. Enjoy a beautiful lawn and save the time and effort of watering by choosing a professional sprinkler installation right here in Fort Collins.

Fire Pits

Create the outdoor entertainment space you have always wanted with a custom fire pit installation. A fire pit makes a wonderful addition to just about any backyard. It allows you to use your outdoor space all year round and provides an upgrade to your landscaping design at the same time. You’ll be able to spend many nights having fun with family and friends around a warm fire, roasting smores and enjoying lively conversation.

For professional fire pit installation in Fort Collins and Northern Colorado, Backes Landscaping has you covered. We will help you decide on the right location for your fire pit to maximize both safety and enjoyment. Our experts can also recommend different fire pit shapes, sizes, and heights that could work well for your backyard. Opting for custom fire pit installation will ensure that your new fire pit meets all of your landscaping design preferences and backyard entertainment needs.

Xeriscaping

Xeriscaping is a drought-resistant landscaping strategy that can reduce your water consumption and save you time on yard maintenance. It involves the use of vegetation that can thrive in the local climate without much, if any, supplemental irrigation. Plants that are suitable to the local environment also typically need less fertilizer. Xeriscape is a particularly good option in Fort Collins, Loveland, Timnath, Windsor, and throughout Northern Colorado, where drought is becoming a more frequent occurrence.

Backes Landscaping offers xeriscaping services that will improve the water efficiency and beauty of your yard. Our professionals are familiar with all of the xeriscaping design principles, from proper planning to long-term maintenance requirements. We can also recommend the top xeriscaping plants to use as well as rocks to incorporate into your hardscape. Xeriscape offers a lot of choice, allowing you to design a yard that enhances your curb appeal and even increases your property value.

Landscape Design

Landscaping design requires careful planning and consideration. When done right, it will make your outdoor space more enjoyable to spend time in and improve the overall appeal of your home as well. Backes Landscaping provides landscape design services in Fort Collins and the surrounding area to help bring your landscaping dreams to life. We love the natural Northern Colorado landscape, and we have extensive experience creating landscape designs that showcase its best characteristics.

Our landscaping experts will help you understand the essential elements of landscape design. This includes incorporating color into the landscaping through the use of flowers and other plants, as well as considering how the different landscaping features complement one another. A balanced and cohesive landscape is more visually interesting and aesthetically pleasing. We also take into account how your landscaping will look over the changing seasons, ensuring that your yard reflects well on your property throughout the year.
