Chris Hood Landscaping | Qualified Landscapers in Sioux Falls, SD

We address shifting rock gardens by first assessing your soil composition and drainage. Our solutions include installing proper edging barriers, using stabilizing geotextile fabric beneath rocks, and selecting appropriate base materials that resist movement in our local conditions. We also recommend periodic maintenance checks, especially after freeze-thaw cycles common in South Dakota.

We recommend native and adaptive shrubs like Serviceberry, Ninebark, and Potentilla that thrive in Sioux Falls' climate. These species are drought-tolerant, cold-hardy, and resistant to local pests. Our planting process includes proper soil amendment, correct depth placement, and seasonal care guidance to ensure long-term health and reduce replacement needs.

For Sioux Falls homes, we typically recommend seasonal maintenance: spring cleanup and mulching, summer watering adjustments and pruning, fall preparation for winter, and winter damage assessment. The exact schedule depends on your specific plants and features, but regular care helps prevent issues like shrub die-off and landscape erosion common in our area.
