What Rapid City homeowners actually said
We had Blade install sod on a rather steep hillside. He was very responsive, and did an excellent job. I would surely use him again.
Blade completely transformed our yard and brought our vision to life. He tackled a long list of projects, including cleaning out old garden areas, refreshing flower beds, adding rock landscaping, trimming trees, and improving problem areas.
Blade was quick to respond and easy to work with. He delivered excellent product and laid it very professionally. I would recommend Blade to anyone considering any yard work.
Hardscaping in Rapid City, answered straight
How much does a paver patio cost in Rapid City?
Access, grade, and material choice drive the spread more than anything else. We price the whole project rather than quoting a per square foot number that changes once we see the site, so you know the real figure before we dig.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?
It depends on the height of the wall and where it sits on the property. Taller walls generally require a permit and an engineered design, and setbacks vary by lot. We check with Rapid City Community Development before we quote so nobody finds out after the fact.
Will my patio heave in the freeze thaw?
Not if the base is right. A properly excavated and compacted aggregate base with drainage lets water move instead of sitting and expanding under the pavers. Patios that heave around here almost always have a thin or uncompacted base.
How long does a retaining wall take to build?
Most residential walls go up over three to five days depending on length, height, and how much dirt has to move. Base prep and drainage take longer than stacking the block, and that is the part that determines whether the wall is still straight in ten years.
Do you sub out the work?
No. Blade's crew does the work with our own skid steers, mini excavators, trenchers, and compactors. That is why we can hold a schedule and why there is one person to call if something is not right.
Can you fix drainage that runs toward the house?
Yes, and it is worth doing before it becomes a foundation problem. Regrading, swales, drain lines, and dry wells all solve different versions of the same issue. We will walk the grade with you and tell you which one your lot actually needs.
