The Grounds Guys of Rapid City today announced the availability of comprehensive winter landscaping services designed to protect properties throughout the harsh South Dakota winter months and prepare outdoor spaces for the eventual spring transition.
"Winter presents distinct challenges for property owners with questions about landscaping in Rapid City, particularly regarding protection of existing landscapes and planning for spring improvements," said Johnny Lazear, owner of The Grounds Guys of Rapid City. "Our winter services focus on preventing damage from snow load, ice formation, and freeze-thaw cycles while helping clients develop strategic plans for their outdoor spaces once warmer weather returns."
The locally owned landscaping company has mobilized its winter service teams to address seasonal challenges facing residential and commercial property owners across the Black Hills region. With temperatures regularly dropping below freezing and significant snowfall expected through March, the company has implemented specialized protocols for winter property maintenance and spring preparation.
The company provides nine service categories adapted for winter conditions, including snow and ice management, winterization of irrigation systems, tree and shrub protection, drainage assessment and repair, and early-stage landscape planning consultations. Winter service protocols have been developed specifically for the Black Hills region's elevation changes and temperature fluctuations.
Commercial properties requiring Rapid City landscaping maintenance during the winter months receive priority snow removal services, ice management treatments, and preventive care to minimize liability risks and maintain accessibility. The company coordinates winter services to ensure properties remain operational during severe weather events while protecting landscape investments from seasonal damage.
Rapid City's winter climate creates particular maintenance requirements due to heavy clay soils that freeze and thaw repeatedly, potential for ice dams affecting drainage systems, and snow loads that can damage trees and shrubs. The company addresses these conditions through preventive maintenance measures, including protective wrapping for vulnerable plants, systematic snow removal to prevent structural damage, and proactive drainage system inspections.
The winter service announcement follows recent expansion of the company's equipment fleet and the addition of certified technicians trained in cold-weather landscape management. These investments enable the company to maintain service levels throughout the winter months when many landscape companies reduce operations.
Demand for professional landscaping solutions in Rapid City during the winter months reflects growing recognition that year-round maintenance prevents costly spring repairs. Industry data shows that properties receiving professional winter care experience 40 percent fewer landscape replacements and reduced irrigation system repairs compared to properties without winter maintenance programs.
