In Leawood, Kansas, evenings beg for spaces that draw people together. An outdoor firepit or fireplace designed through our Legacy Program is more than a source of heat—it’s a centerpiece for memory-making, crafted with exclusive methods and materials that endure for decades. At High Prairie Outdoors & Pools, we design and build outdoor firepits and fireplaces through our Legacy Program, blending artistry, performance, and exclusive construction methods. The result is a fire feature that not only elevates your backyard today but endures for decades, ensuring your outdoor living space is as inviting on a crisp January evening as it is on a warm June night.
Why Most Fire Features Fail
- Short Lifespan: Rusting, fading, or structural problems can show up in as little as one season.
- Weak Burner Performance: Low-quality burners deliver disappointing flames and not enough warmth.
- Limited Design Options: Too many homeowners are stuck between generic, prefab firepits with no character and custom pieces that feel out of reach.
- Ongoing Maintenance: Cheaper materials often require bulky covers or constant upkeep, detracting from the look.
How the Legacy Method™ Solves These Challenges
- Artistic Finishes: Each fire feature is treated as a work of art, incorporating hand-tiled mosaics, porcelain veneers, and other refined materials.
- Legacy Durability that Withstands Generations: Materials are chosen for their resilience, so your firepit remains beautiful without bulky covers or constant maintenance.
- Premium Burners: We install solid brass Warming Trends burners, known for powerful flames, efficient gas use, and a lifetime warranty.
- Design Aligned With How You Relax, Connect, and Play: Select from round, square, octagonal, or linear designs, or collaborate with us on a fully unique concept crafted to complement your home.
Why You Can't Go Wrong with our Legacy Program
- Integrated With Your Landscape: Fire features are designed alongside patios, lighting, planting, and gathering areas so the entire outdoor experience is elevated.
- One-of-a-Kind Pieces: These are permanent installations designed to enrich your home, not kits that fade after a season.
- Curated Materials & Design: We’ve combined the Midwest’s best burners, forms, and finishes into one exclusive collection.
- Completed by In-House Experts: 95–98% of work handled by our own trained crews for consistency and accountability.
- Warrantied Longevity: 10-year hardscape warranties, extendable to 25 years through Continued Care.

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.

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.
