Common questions

Rock installation in Rapid City, answered straight

How is river rock actually installed?
  • Rock gets delivered and spread to the depth your bed actually needs
  • Graded so water moves away from your foundation instead of pooling against it
  • Bordered on the edge so it stays where we put it instead of spreading into the lawn
What does bordering actually involve?
  • Edging set around the bed with roughly a one inch overlap, the standard for keeping rock contained
  • Stops rock from migrating into the grass every time it rains or gets mowed near
  • A clean, defined line between the bed and the lawn instead of one bleeding into the other
How much does rock installation cost in Rapid City?
  • Bed size, rock type, and how much grading the ground needs drive the price the most
  • Bordering adds a bit of cost but is what keeps the rock from spreading everywhere
  • We measure and give you a firm number before any work starts
Why does grading away from the foundation matter?
  • Water pooling against your foundation is how basements and crawl spaces end up with problems
  • Proper grading moves water away from the house instead of toward it
  • This is not optional, it is part of doing the job right the first time
Reviews

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.

Dave VB · Google review

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.

Ciera Borror · Google review

The job was completed as requested and Blade was super polite and professional. I had dirt brought in and placed on a low spot on my lawn, leveled and seeded. I would hire them again.
