Landscape Design in Sioux Falls, SD | Tierra Designs
Outdoor Spaces That Reflect How You Live
Your yard is more than a patch of grass — it’s an extension of your home and lifestyle. And when done with intention, it becomes a place that blends beauty, function, and comfort. At Tierra Designs, our custom landscape design services in Sioux Falls combine art, horticulture, and practical planning to shape outdoor living spaces that feel like a natural continuation of your interior design.
Whether you dream of a pollinator garden full of native species, a backyard patio with a built-in fire pit and outdoor kitchen, or a peaceful front yard filled with perennial blooms and ornamental trees like maple and cornus, we design spaces that align with your goals, budget, and lifestyle.
Landscapes Without a Plan Fall Flat
Too many homeowners invest in plants or patios without a design concept. The result? A mismatched yard that lacks flow, function, and long-term value. Without proper planning, important elements like drainage, sunlight, and soil quality get overlooked — and so do opportunities for beauty and enjoyment.
Inconsistent spacing, out-of-place trees, poorly located hardscapes, and plantings that don’t thrive in Sioux Falls’ climate lead to frustration, maintenance headaches, and extra costs. A beautiful outdoor living space starts with a detailed plan rooted in your space, your needs, and your long-term vision.

At Tierra Designs, we offer full-scale outdoor living design services that go beyond garden beds and pavers. Every design is custom, created to support your routine, enhance your aesthetics, and reflect your personal taste.

The Design Process
- Design Consultation & Site Review
We walk the property, identify goals, and assess site-specific conditions like soil, slope, lighting, and wind exposure.
- Concept Creation
You’ll receive a custom landscape concept including zones for gardens, hardscapes, lawn, entertainment, privacy, and flow. Elements like patios, fire features, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens are placed intentionally.
- Plant Palette & Material Selection
We build a plant list that fits your maintenance preferences and supports biodiversity — with perennials, grasses, ornamental trees (like malus and peach), and seasonal color. Pavers, lighting, and construction materials are selected for both design and durability.
- Final Design + Build Options
The final plan can be phased for budget flexibility. You can install yourself, hire Tierra Designs to manage construction, or bring in your preferred contractor.
- Design Fee
Invest in design—get it back in the build.
Our custom landscape designs start at $400, including up to 3 revisions to ensure every detail works for your space.
If you choose to have Tierra Design complete the build, we’ll put $200 of your design fee right back into your project. It’s our way of rewarding full-service clients who trust us from concept to completion.
Built to Fit Your Budget and Long-Term Goals
We understand that every outdoor design project is unique. Whether you’re investing in a full outdoor living space or designing a smaller front yard refresh, we scale our services to fit your needs.
Need help designing around an existing deck, pool, porch, or roof overhang? We’ll incorporate what you already have and help you make it better.
Planning ahead for a future outdoor fireplace, pergola, or water feature? We’ll design in phases that allow your vision to grow as your budget allows.
