What we install

Landscaping services we perform across Sioux Falls

Every job below is work our own crew performs — no subbing out, no shortcuts under the surface. That's why our Sioux Falls landscapes still look sharp after a few South Dakota winters.

Landscape bed design & river rock install

We strip every old layer of mulch, rock, and failed fabric, reshape the bed lines, then rebuild with fresh soil, commercial-grade weed fabric, plastic or steel edging, and clean river rock. The result is a crisp, low-maintenance bed that still looks new years later through South Dakota freeze-thaw.

  • Full removal of old rock, mulch, and fabric
  • New fabric, edging, and decorative stone
  • Accent boulders and tidy bed lines

Paver patios, seat walls & hardscaping

Our hardscapes are built the slow way — proper excavation, compacted base rock in lifts, screeded bedding sand, then pavers cut tight and locked in with polymeric sand. That base work is the difference between a patio that settles in two winters and one that stays dead flat.

  • 12x12 and custom paver patios
  • Stone seat walls and fire pit surrounds
  • Compacted base built for freeze-thaw

Grading, drainage & window wells

Water in the basement is almost always a grading problem. We regrade beds so runoff sheds away from the foundation, replace tired window wells with new gravel and covers, extend downspouts underground, and finish the whole perimeter in rock so the fix looks intentional.

  • Foundation regrading and positive slope
  • New window wells, gravel, and covers
  • Downspout extensions and perimeter rock

Sod, seeding & lawn restoration

After heavy equipment work we put the turf back better than we found it. Fresh topsoil, sod or seed, and a clear watering plan so the new grass takes — then we can pick it up on a weekly mowing route to keep the whole property sharp.

  • Sod install and overseeding
  • Topsoil and final grade
  • Optional weekly maintenance
Proof, not promises

Landscaping built for Sioux Falls soil, wind, and winters

Sioux Falls yards deal with heavy clay, hard spring rains off the Big Sioux, and a freeze-thaw cycle that heaves anything built on a lazy base. We over-build where it counts — deeper excavation, compacted base in lifts, commercial-grade fabric, and positive grade away from the foundation — so the work holds up long after the crew leaves.

We work throughout Sioux Falls and the surrounding metro, from older neighborhoods with mature trees and tired beds to newer builds that need their first real landscape. Weekly maintenance routes keep us in these neighborhoods year-round, which means faster scheduling and quicker follow-up than an out-of-town crew.

Landscaping in Sioux Falls — quick answers

What kind of landscaping projects do you take on in Sioux Falls?
From curb-appeal refreshes — mulch, rock, edging, plantings — to full bed redesigns, paver patios, seat walls, and drainage regrades. No project is too big or too small.
How much does landscaping cost in Sioux Falls?
Most bed refreshes with new fabric, edging, and rock start in the low four figures, while full front-yard redesigns and paver patios scale with square footage and material. We quote flat, itemized pricing after walking the property — no surprise add-ons.
What does a load of landscaping rock cost in Sioux Falls?
Delivered river rock and decorative stone pricing swings with stone type and haul distance, so we price it per project including delivery, fabric, edging, and install rather than quoting rock alone. You get one number that covers the finished bed.
When is the best time to landscape in Sioux Falls?
April through early November is our install window. Spring is best for plantings and sod, mid-summer is ideal for hardscaping and rock work, and fall regrades let the soil settle before winter freeze-thaw.
Do you fix drainage and water problems around the foundation?
Yes — it's one of our most requested Sioux Falls jobs. We regrade beds so water sheds away from the house, replace window wells with new gravel and covers, extend downspouts, and rebuild the beds in clean river rock.
What kind of rock or mulch holds up best in South Dakota?
River rock and decorative stone over commercial-grade fabric outlast wood mulch through our freeze-thaw cycles and wind, so they stay sharp for years. We still install mulch when a client wants that softer look around plantings.
Do you give free landscaping quotes?
Yes. We'll stop by, walk the property, and send a clear, no-pressure quote with competitive pricing and a commitment to the highest standard of workmanship.
How long does a typical landscaping project take?
A bed refresh or mulch install is often a single day. Larger redesigns, paver patios, and rock installs typically run 2–5 days depending on scope.
Can you maintain what you install?
Absolutely. Most of our landscape clients also book us for ongoing lawn care so the property stays sharp year-round.
