Imagine a landscape that only gets better over time. The distinction between a cheap landscape and a lasting landscape is defined by how the landscape establishes. That Lasting Beauty is what our Legacy Program is based on. Anyone can dig a hole, but landscapes that age beautifully, getting better over time, are installed in the best soil, which is customized to the site and plants, and installed using tier-1 quality standard planting practices. We call it our Plant Establishment Program.
Your own team of HP Pros handles all the details of testing your soil, building the soil program, creating the landscape design, and installing the best plants with the best practices. This is landscape installation with the Experience-Driven Lifestyle in mind and it's so much more than just 'landscaping'.
The High Prairie Plant Enrichment Program
Plant Enrichment Program (PEP): Three Steps to Thriving Plants
At High Prairie Outdoors & Pools, our Plant Enrichment Program (PEP) ensures that your landscape plants thrive from the moment they are planted. This comprehensive, three-step approach focuses on plant selection, soil health, and ongoing care for long-lasting results.
Step 1: Installation- Customized Soil Building Plan, Exclusive Plant Selections, and Precision Planting
Our process begins with the creation of a customized soil-building plan based on the results of a comprehensive soil test. We assess the nutrient content, pH levels, and structure of your soil, then implement targeted amendments to create the best environment for plant growth. Additionally, we select exclusive plant varieties proven to thrive in our region, using trial garden research to determine the next-best cultivars for your landscape.This process ensures you get more color, more performance, and better impact from your landscape. Each plant is expertly installed, ensuring proper depth and root development for lasting vitality.
Step 2: Establishment- Customized Watering, Continued Soil Building, and Insulation with Mulch
After planting, we focus on consistent care through a tailored watering schedule designed for your plants and soil conditions. Since soil-building is a comprehensive process, we continue to test and enhance the soil, adding organic materials to improve structure and fertility over time, ensuring your landscape grows stronger and more vibrant. To further support the plants, we apply premium mulch to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. Extra care is provided to your landscape during the establishment phase to help your plants overcome transplant shock.
Step 3: Thrive- Long-Term Care, Soil Enrichment, and Precision Pruning
As your plants become established, our team combines the science of horticulture with the art of precision pruning and shaping. This approach not only promotes plant health but also protects the integrity of the original design intent. By carefully balancing plant care with design aesthetics, we ensure your landscape continues to thrive, delivering years of enjoyment. We also continue to monitor plant health, making adjustments and providing additional soil enrichment as needed to safeguard your investment.
Optional Step 4: High-Impact Seasonal Color Flower Program
To take your landscape to the next level, consider adding our Seasonal Color Flower Program, which provides vibrant, high-impact seasonal color displays year-round. As Kansas City's recognized experts in seasonal color, we curate the best flower cultivars using our exclusive trial garden research, ensuring your landscape stands out with bold, stunning varieties. Our seasonal program also includes curated garden container designs, bringing four seasons of color, texture, and enjoyment to your outdoor spaces.

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
