Create Function & Beauty With Kansas City Retaining Wall Design & Installation
Is your landscape a chaotic, hilly mess? Do you hold your breath during every rainstorm, hoping water won’t wash away more of your slope?
Banish those worries with solutions that bring both form and function to your space: retaining walls.
Consider a waved and terraced shape to show off gorgeous garden beds full of flowers. Spacing between terraced retaining walls can also be used as pathways to other areas of your landscape. Or use a retaining wall with a staircase to create an elegant home entryway. You can even create a beautiful and functional living retaining wall with spaces designed for herbs and other greenery.
Retaining walls can bring the right solutions to all your complex landscape challenges.
Retaining Walls Create More Usable Space
When you have a lovely landscape of rolling hills, paver patios and other flat entertaining areas don’t always seem like they’ll even be possible. But retaining walls make them a reality by adding a layered aesthetic that contributes to your yard’s beauty while harnessing the natural elevation of your land.
Retaining walls raise your landscape, creating flat areas along hillsides to ensure soil doesn’t spill out and keeping your outdoors tidy.
The right design can even add a touch of luxury while effortlessly creating usable areas for planting and seating in your landscape.
Retaining Walls Provide Soil Support
Retaining walls allow you to have different soil levels in your yard.
Gravity is tricky and never ceases to keep soil moving right along with it when slopes are involved. It’s a hard battle to fight. Retaining walls provide a great defense by meeting your creative vision while also serving a structural purpose, holding that soil together and stopping erosion in its tracks.
A properly and expertly constructed retaining wall is built with support to hold heavy soil and keep it in place. There’s an art in ensuring retaining wall stability and sturdiness that our experts know well.
Retaining Walls Can be Functional and Attractive You might think retaining walls are just concrete blocks stacked up in wall form. This is far from the truth today. And we don’t do boring.
While concrete blocks have their place, retaining walls can be created with boulders, bricks, and stone, using creative designs and patterns. You can even tailor your retaining wall to the rest of your landscape and your home architecture to bring a cohesive look and feel to your space.
Your Space. Your Look.
We can craft retaining walls to bring a modern elegance to your space in smooth, light gray tones mixed with whites or dark shades.
Or maybe you want to take modern to a new level with varying depths, giving your wall a three-dimensional visual effect. Mixing smooth and chiseled textures adds interest — perfect for something unique and super sleek.
There are even concrete blocks that are made to look like rustic wood to inspire a more traditional, antique look. This way you get wood aesthetics mixed with concrete’s practicality and durability.
Designed well, retaining walls blend into the earth seamlessly, while creating focal points on your property. Once installed, they require little maintenance, yet do a powerful job of holding back soil, preventing erosion, and creating functional living spaces.

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.
