Project Details

Project Type: Residential

Project Start Date: 2025-07-09

Project End Date: 2025-07-11

Project Length: 2 Days for Full Install

Project Cost: $3,200

Location: Sioux Falls, SD

Services Provided: Drainage correction, landscape regrading, erosion control liner installation, decorative quartz rock replacement, boulder placement, and runoff channel construction

Scope: Reconstruction of a problem area near the driveway to eliminate persistent water runoff and erosion. The project included removal of unstable decorative rock, full regrading, installation of a heavy-duty landscape liner, placement of 1.5-inch quartz rock, and incorporation of large decorative quartz boulders to create a controlled and durable drainage channel.

Project Description

A residential homeowner in Sioux Falls, SD, was experiencing ongoing water runoff issues along the front of the property near the driveway. Heavy rains repeatedly displaced decorative rock, exposed soil, and created visible erosion. The lack of a defined runoff path led to continual maintenance and declining curb appeal.

Over two days, the area was completely rebuilt from the ground up. The finished installation now directs water through a stabilized channel designed to prevent washout while significantly improving the front yard’s appearance.

Background & Client Vision

The drainage issue was identified during routine lawn maintenance and fertilization visits. As a full-property maintenance client, the homeowner relied on consistent exterior care but had not yet addressed the runoff problem.

Key concerns included:

Persistent rock displacement after heavy rainfall
Soil erosion and exposed base material
Ongoing maintenance needs
Desire for a clean, finished appearance near the driveway

The goal was to implement a long-term solution that would manage water effectively while enhancing the property’s overall appearance.

Scope of Services Provided

Drainage Assessment & Regrading: The affected area was carefully evaluated and regraded to establish proper slope and water flow direction.
Erosion Control Installation: A heavy-duty plastic landscape liner was installed to stabilize the base and prevent soil movement beneath the rock.
Quartz Rock Replacement: 1.5-inch quartz rock was installed to provide proper drainage performance and improved durability.
Decorative Boulder Placement: Large quartz boulders were strategically positioned to slow water movement, anchor the design, and create a defined runoff channel.

Our Work

Products & Materials Used:
