Black Hills’ Trusted Landscaper
About ATK Landscaping
Proudly serving the Black Hills region with expert landscaping, curbing, and hardscaping for over two decades.
Our Story
Built on Hard Work & a Handshake
ATK Landscaping was founded by Alex Sheesley right here in Rapid City, SD. What started as a one-man operation with a single truck has grown into one of the Black Hills's most trusted landscaping companies — with over 5 years and thousands of projects under our belt.
Growing up in the Black Hills, Alex developed a deep appreciation for the rugged beauty of western South Dakota. That connection to the land drives every project ATK takes on. Whether it's a backyard retreat in Rapid City or a commercial lot in Spearfish, the goal is always the same: deliver work that looks incredible and stands up to the demanding Black Hills climate.
“I treat every property like it's my own. My name is on the side of the truck, and that means something to me.”

Our Values
The Principles That Guide Every Project
These are not just words on a wall. They are the standards we hold ourselves to on every single job.
Integrity
We give honest estimates, communicate clearly throughout the project, and never cut corners. If something is not right, we fix it before we leave.
Craftsmanship
Landscaping is part art, part engineering. We take pride in every curve of curbing, every grade of soil, and every stone we set. The details matter and we obsess over them.
Community
We live and work in the Black Hills. Our neighbors are our customers and our reputation is everything. When you hire ATK, your money stays local — supporting local families and the local economy.
The ATK Difference
What Sets Us Apart
There are plenty of landscapers in the Black Hills. Here is why homeowners and businesses choose ATK.
In-House Crew, Every Job
No subcontractors, no day laborers. Our full-time team handles every project from start to finish. That means consistent quality, clear communication, and accountability you can count on.
Built for This Climate
We know the Black Hills soil, the freeze-thaw cycles, and the local growing conditions. Everything we build is engineered specifically for western South Dakota — so it lasts.
Certified Curbing Specialists
Curbing is our specialty, not a side service. As certified curbing installers with two decades of experience, we bring a level of expertise most landscapers in the region simply do not have.
Honest, Upfront Pricing
No hidden fees, no change-order surprises. You get a detailed written estimate before any work begins, and that is what you pay. Trust starts before the first shovel hits the ground.
Full-Service Capabilities
Curbing, landscaping, hardscaping, hydroseeding — we handle every aspect of your outdoor space. One contractor, one point of contact, one team that knows your property inside and out.
Proven Track Record
Over 1,000 projects completed across four counties. Our reputation is built on consistent results and homeowners who recommend us to their neighbors.

From Spearfish and Sturgis in the north to Custer and Hot Springs in the south, ATK has completed projects in nearly every community in the Hills.
Giving Back
Rooted in the Community
ATK Landscaping is not just a business that operates in the Black Hills — we are part of the community. Our crew lives here, raises families here, and takes pride in making our neighborhoods look their best.
From donating materials and labor for local park improvements to supporting youth sports programs, ATK believes that strong communities are built by people who show up — not just for the paycheck, but because they care about where they live.
When you hire ATK, your money stays local. It supports local families, local suppliers, and the local economy. That is something we take seriously, and it is a big part of why we do what we do.
Local Roots
Founded and operated in Rapid City for over 5 years. We know the Hills because we call them home.
Supporting Local
We source materials from local suppliers whenever possible and employ full-time Black Hills residents.
