Darkness Can’t Shut Down Your Patio With Kansas City Landscape Lighting
You’re outside, enjoying your inground pool and surrounding paver patio. You’re floating and watching the sun dip in the sky. This might be the best time of day out here. The air is a bit cooler — humidity and heat being cut down a bit. It’s quiet.
You want to recline on the patio and dry off. But then, before you know it, the sun goes down. And you’re left in darkness. You make it inside, but looking back out you can only see a black hole. Where did your landscape go?
Banish murky shadows with professionally layered and installed landscape lighting in Kansas City.
You’ve invested in your landscape — these outdoor rooms that beckon you to step out of the indoors. Hardscapes that get you from one place to another, along with trees, plants, and shrubs that highlight the edges, softening the whole outdoor picture and giving you textures and scents and colors to enjoy.
Double down on that time and money you have put into your outdoor rooms with outdoor lighting, making your space as functional in the evening hours as it is in the daylight. Contact our Kansas City landscape lighting today to take your curb appeal to the next level!
Welcome Home With Lighting
Whether you’re arriving home in the evening or your guests are coming over for a late dinner, landscape lighting allows your entryways to be visible after sunset, welcoming people in and giving your home a curb appeal boost.
There’s an art and ambiance that lighting also creates, playing on the drama and highlighting areas to create intrigue and depth. From the inside looking out, you’ll feel like you’ve added square feet to your home, enhancing spaciousness.
Landscape Lighting Enables Function & Creates Ambiance
Landscape lighting uses a creative combination of lights to ensure you can do the things you want to do when the sun dies down without drawing attention to the fixtures.
Moonlights can bring focus to your home exterior and most immediate outdoor living spaces. Professionally placed, they offer functional brightness and not obnoxious glare. They softly and naturally illuminate a wider space with a silvery glow reminiscent of moonlight.
Garden lights illuminate flower beds or light up walkways. The right design ensures the diffused bulb’s glow points down or in the direction you need them and never angles in the eyes of passers-by.
Soft, diffused lighting can wash over areas to create a bit of a silhouette of a tree against a house. Lights can be targeted upward along tree trunks, home architecture, or on attractive hardscapes like stone or brick to give them new dimension and depth.
Task or ambient lighting can bring light to outdoor kitchen and dining areas so your party can keep rolling, no matter how late it is. Deck oand step lighting can match hardscapes and tuck away so you don’t even notice the fixture, but rather the efficient and elegant glow they provide.
Landscape Lights Bring a Feeling of Security
Professional lighting ensures entrances are never left in the shadows. It can tie into your current home security system to work together, illuminating visitors and opening camera visibility.
Outdoor lighting can ensure guests don’t trip or fall on their way to your front door, along backyard garden pathways, or on steps in the evening hours. Illumination also deters burglars or vandals, emphasizing safety, because it gives the impression that your home is well-watched and taken care of.
The High Prairie Process
An Experience-Driven Process
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.
Year-Round Services for Comprehensive Property Care
All of our services are completed by highly skilled crews equipped with specialized tools and landscaping know-how.
