Landscape Installation
The lushest landscapes begin with the healthiest soils. As part of our “Legacy Program”, we’ll lab test your soils and provide a comprehensive plan for building your soil health.

The High Prairie Process
A Holistic Approach for Exceptional Results
Our processes create customized solutions to help you master the art of the experience-driven lifestyle. This is what to expect when you work with us on Design/Build projects or all-inclusive Maintenance:
Get In Touch
Fill out our online form to get started. We'll be in touch to discuss the details of your project to make sure we're a good fit for you. If so, we'll set up your Discovery Meeting and provide a pricing guide to help you know what to expect.
Discovery Meeting
This is a free meeting at our design studio, where you'll select a design package. You'll have an opportunity to meet your designer and share details about your unique design style. We'll learn about your priorities and preferences as we help you discover your many options and possibilities. At this time, we'll collect half of the design fee.
Site Analysis
The Site Analysis breaks down the three pillars of memory making: how you relax, play, and connect. It includes measurements, drainage and grading considerations, architectural and existing element analysis, soil analysis, and a review of design opportunities, all seen through the lens of your three pillars.
Concept Reveal Meeting
At our studio or remotely, this is where you'll review your detailed design and discuss material options with your designer. If there are budget considerations, we can discuss phasing the project as needed.
Final Design Reveal and Proposal Presentation
We'll finalize the materials and order your selections upon your approval. Your Prairie Power Team will create a project plan, complete with milestones and target tasks. As we work through planning and permitting, you'll receive weekly updates, and after you sign, we'll get you on the schedule.
Crafting Your Space
The team will work diligently and according to schedule. You can track our progress and watch your landscape unfold via our project web platform.
Final Walkthrough + Ongoing Maintenance
You'll do a final walkthrough with the designer, and we will accept the final payment. You’ll learn more about our worry-free maintenance program options and we can schedule your Lawncierge project check-ins for proactive attention and monitoring of your new space.
Why Choose High Prairie Outdoors for Your Landscaping Project
Since 2010, we've set ourselves apart from other landscaping companies by creating exceptional outdoor living spaces that speak to your lifestyle and preferences. We call our proven system “The Legacy Program”, which is broken down into three steps: Discovery, Implementation, and Continued Care. This is how we do it:
A Team That Challenges the Status Quo: Get to Know Us
High Prairie Outdoors was founded in 2010 when Robyn Schmitz discovered Kansas City homeowners were being taken advantage of by companies claiming to provide quality, but cutting corners behind the scenes. She soon learned that even the 100 year-old companies were plunking in trees without removing the twine (which chokes the tree in a few years). In addition, those companies were either treating employees like “seasonal laborers” or simply subcontracting out all of the work, controlling none of the quality. Believing there was a better way, she started the company with nothing but an old Jeep and a determination to enhance the lives of both clients and team members with an elevated caliber of service, implementation, and exceptional value for every dollar spent on a High Prairie Outdoors project. Today, our family-owned business is still small enough to care personally about every project and large enough to manage complex construction and property maintenance.
