Elevate Your Property
With Residential Landscape Design

True to the Land. Built for Life Lived Outdoors

Premium Landscape Design From Concept to Completion

The Black Hills are unlike anywhere else. The climate is demanding, the terrain is rugged, and the scenery sets a high bar for anything you put in the ground. Generic landscaping won’t cut it.

Bluegrass Landscape Company was built around one belief: that great landscape design starts with understanding your surroundings. We select plants that are native and proven in the South Dakota climate. We build hardscapes that hold up in freeze-thaw cycles and high-wind seasons. We design spaces that feel like they belong here, because your landscape should.

Whether you’re creating an elegant outdoor living space, taming a difficult slope, or transforming new construction into a home worth living in for years, our team brings unmatched expertise and the care to do it right.

Our Landscape Design Process
Step by Step

Your home deserves an outdoor space that’s as carefully crafted as the home itself. Whether you’re starting with fresh dirt on a new build or reimagining a backyard that’s never quite worked, we approach our residential projects with the depth of planning and craft.

The On-Site Consultation

Every successful landscape starts with a thoughtful plan. When a project calls for professional design, we partner with trusted local landscape architects and designers to create a plan tailored to your property, goals, and budget. You’ll gain a clear vision for the space, including layout recommendations, plant selections, hardscape features, and project phasing when needed.

The Design & Proposal

We create a detailed landscape design that fits your property and your personality. You’ll get a clear idea of how the space will look and work, with plant choices, hardscape layouts, and any suggested phases. We present the plan, answer your questions, and refine it until it’s right.

Landscape Installation

Once the design is complete, we bring the plan to life with careful attention to detail. Our team follows proven installation practices, from proper grading and drainage to soil preparation and planting techniques, to ensure lasting results. Throughout the project, we keep you informed and focused on creating an outdoor space that looks great and performs for years to come.

Final Inspection & Care Guide

When the project is complete, we walk the finished space with you, answer any remaining questions, and provide guidance on your care and maintenance. Your new investment should last, and we make sure you have everything you need to protect it.

Proudly Serving the Black Hills Region

Bluegrass Landscape is proud to live and work in the Black Hills region. We aren’t just a landscape design company; we’re your neighbors, and we have a vested interest in maintaining and elevating the beauty of the Black Hills.

We know this land, this climate, and these communities because we live and work here too. From Rapid City to Spearfish, every project we take on reflects our reputation in the region we call home. That local commitment means faster response times, better plant selection, and a team that genuinely cares how your property looks long after the last shovel is put away.

Frequently Asked Questions
From Landscape Design Clients

What can I expect during my initial consultation?

Our first step is always an on-site visit where we walk your property together and have a real conversation about how you use your outdoor space. We will come to you! We can discuss what frustrates you about it now, and what you hope it could become. We check drainage, grade, soil, sun patterns, and any existing plants or structures that might be worth keeping. There’s no obligation and no sales pitch. We just want to understand your property and your vision before we start planning.

How long does the design process take before work begins?

Most residential designs take approximately two to three weeks after the initial consultation. Larger or more complex properties may take longer.

We prioritize accuracy and thoughtful planning over speed to ensure your design is clear, buildable, and aligned with your goals.

Can I make changes to my landscape design after I see it?

Yes. The design process is collaborative. One round of revisions is included with your design package. Additional revisions or redesign work can be completed based on scope and billed accordingly.

Can you work in phases if my budget doesn't cover the full project at once?

Yes. We frequently design and build projects in phases, especially when budget or timing is a factor.

This approach allows you to move toward a complete master plan without having to redo or undo earlier work. Each phase is intentionally designed to function on its own while still contributing to the overall finished landscape.

For many homeowners, this also creates opportunities to complete portions of the work themselves between phases, while still following a clear and coordinated design direction.

Do you handle all the work yourselves, or do you use subcontractors?

We install nearly all aspects of our projects in-house, including, landscaping, hardscaping, planting, irrigation, and most site work.

For specialized licensed trades such as electrical, plumbing, or certain concrete flatwork applications, we may partner with qualified subcontractors. All work is fully coordinated and managed by our team to maintain quality and consistency.

What is included in a landscape design package?

Design services may include conceptual master planning, planting plans, hardscape layouts, lighting concepts, irrigation concepts, grading concepts, and supporting visuals or construction details, depending on project scope.

Each design is customized to your property and goals.

Who owns the design once it is completed?

Once payment is received in full, the client owns the final design documents. Bluegrass Landscape Company retains the right to use project imagery, renderings, and design materials for marketing and portfolio purposes unless otherwise agreed in writing.

What if I cancel the design project?

Either party may terminate the agreement in writing at any time. The client is responsible for all work completed, consultant fees incurred, and expenses up to the termination date. Deposits and completed design work are non-refundable.

Do I have to build the project with Bluegrass after design?

No. Design services are independent of construction services. You are not required to use us for installation, and we are not obligated to provide construction services for every design project.

What financing options do you offer?

We do not currently offer in-house financing. Clients may work directly with their preferred bank or lending institution for financing options. We are evaluating financing partnerships for the future.
