Dell Rapids Landscape Design, Installation & Irrigation
Quartzite country — landscapes that complement the iconic local stone.
Dell Rapids' famous Sioux Quartzite shapes every landscape decision — natural outcrops, historic stone buildings, gravel-heavy soils along the Big Sioux. We design around the geology instead of fighting it.

Soil, site & growing conditions
Soils thin out fast as you approach the quartzite ledge. Many Dell Rapids properties have less than a foot of topsoil over bedrock or river gravel — plant selection and bed depth have to account for that.
Local know-how
Use local stone
Importing fancy travertine to Dell Rapids fights the entire town's character. Pink quartzite from the local quarries looks right, lasts forever and supports the local economy.
