Why Leawood Homeowners Choose High Prairie Outdoors & Pools
Why Kansas City Homeowners Choose High Prairie Outdoors
- Durability Backed by Lifetime Warranties: Solid brass fixtures crafted to withstand Kansas climate.
- Experience-Driven Lighting Design: Layered illumination built around how you relax, play, and connect.
- Seamless Smart Integration: Systems designed to respond to your lifestyle with effortless control.
How Poor Materials and Generic Designs Lead to Frustration
Even the most beautiful homes can fall short after dark. Too often, landscape lighting is generic, short-lived, or poorly placed. We’ve seen it all:
- Systems without integration, offering no zone control or flexibility.
- Cheap fixtures that corrode in Kansas humidity and winters.
- Over-simplified designs that miss architectural focal points.
- Poor placement that ignores plant growth and creates glare.
Lighting should never frustrate you. It should make every evening more enjoyable. That’s where we come in.
The High Prairie Advantage: Exclusive Methods, In-House Expertise
Our team approaches lighting as both art and engineering, rooted in how your family uses the space. With in-house certified experts, every design and installation is handled start to finish, ensuring communication and quality control never slip. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Fixtures designed to adapt as landscapes mature.
- Exclusive partnerships with Coastal Source and In-Lite.
- Full integration with home automation systems.
- In-house crews for installation, masonry, and horticulture.
- Color-changing and scene-setting capabilities for gatherings.
The result is illumination that feels effortless, natural, and timeless.
Trusted Craftsmanship, Exclusive Fixtures, Proven Longevity
Our landscape lighting design blends art and engineering, refined through training with luxury lighting fabricators and sharpened by an eye for architectural harmony. Every plan is shaped by how you live day and night, ensuring the lighting enhances both lifestyle and ambiance. Unlike contractors who outsource key steps, our in-house certified team manages every detail, protecting communication, quality, and craftsmanship from start to finish.
Lighting should never feel like an afterthought. That’s why we integrate it seamlessly with pools, outdoor living areas, and gardens to create a cohesive outdoor experience. Through exclusive partnerships with premium brands like Coastal Source and In-Lite, we deliver products and performance levels unavailable from standard landscape companies.
Ready for landscape lighting that feels like it was designed around your routines, your gatherings, and your architecture? Connect with High Prairie Outdoors & Pools today to schedule your consultation; your evenings are about to feel extraordinary.
What to Know Before Hiring a Landscape Lighting Expert
- Ensure the system is serviceable and upgradable without requiring a complete replacement.
- Ask about fixture materials and warranties; solid brass is the gold standard for your climate.
- Discuss automation and color-change capabilities before installation; it’s far easier to design them in than retrofit later.
- Request a night-time demonstration so you can see the design’s impact before committing.
- Confirm the designer balances function and artistry, not just fixture placement.
Expert Insights From the Legacy Lighting Program
The best landscape lighting is about more than brightness—it’s about creating moments. At High Prairie Outdoors & Pools, we design lighting with artistry, longevity, and livability in mind. Here are expert insights we bring to Leawood homes:
- Highlight four-season interest. We emphasize evergreens, sculptures, and architectural features that look beautiful even in winter.
- Avoid over-lighting. Shadows make focal points stand out with refinement.
- Think in layers. Path lights, wall washes, architectural uplighting, and subtle accents create depth and sophistication.
- Hide the sources. Our goal is to highlight your home and landscape, not the fixture itself.
- Incorporate dimming controls. Whether hosting a dinner or unwinding with a glass of wine, you should shift the mood with ease.
- Plan for growth. Plants mature, and your lighting should adjust with them. We install fixtures designed for serviceability.
Lighting should feel natural, timeless, and effortlessly elegant.

The High Prairie Process
Designed, Built, and Maintained With Lasting Precision
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.

All of our services are completed by highly skilled crews equipped with specialized tools and landscaping know-how.
