A Space Your Family Deserves
Imagine stepping into your backyard and feeling an immediate sense of calm. The water shimmers in the sunlight, reflecting the natural elegance of your hand-sculpted Italian quartz pool. Quartz pools are renowned for their durability, smooth texture, and timeless aesthetic, making them a perfect centerpiece. Your family laughs and plays together, creating cherished memories, while friends gather to admire the serene beauty of your outdoor oasis. This is more than a pool—it’s the heart of your home’s outdoor living space.
As the premier Kansas City, Missouri pool designer and Kansas City pool builder, we understand your priorities: a beautiful, functional space that enhances your lifestyle and creates lasting connections. Your pool should be more than just a place to swim. It should be a timeless feature, blending seamlessly with your landscape, offering year-round beauty, and designed to bring your family and friends together in comfort and style.
The Problem: Finding a Pool That Matches Your Vision
Many homeowners share the same frustrations when it comes to creating their ideal backyard space:
- Lack of Usability: You want a backyard that serves as a hub for relaxation and entertainment, but your current space feels underwhelming and underused.
- Aesthetic Concerns: You want a pool that’s not just functional but also enhances the visual appeal of your home. In addition, most pools require a big, bright cover all winter, which isn't appealing.
- Uncertainty About Providers: Finding a reputable pool company that can deliver on your vision—while handling every detail from design to maintenance—can feel overwhelming.
At High Prairie Outdoors & Pools, we’re here to solve these challenges. Our full-service pool program is designed to make your experience seamless and stress-free. From initial design through construction and ongoing maintenance, we deliver the finest pools with unmatched craftsmanship and care.
The Solution: High Prairie’s Hand-Sculpted Italian Quartz Pools
Hand-sculpted using Bio Design's Italian quartz, these pools combine natural beauty, durability, and elegance to create a truly one-of-a-kind backyard experience. As a leading Kansas City pool builder, our team of skilled artisans and craftsmen bring your vision to life, ensuring every detail exceeds your expectations. With High Prairie Outdoors & Pools, you can trust that your pool will be stunning, timeless, and built to last.
What Are Hand-Sculpted Italian Quartz Pools?
Hand-sculpted Italian quartz pools are crafted from high-quality quartz materials using Bio Design's patented process, providing a smooth, luminous surface that is both durable and beautiful. These pools are a perfect choice for homeowners who desire a pool that complements their landscape while offering practical benefits. Since quartz pools don't require a concrete or gunite shell, they're installed in a fraction of the time with less upkeep and the ability to create beach-entry relaxation.
Why Choose Italian Quartz Pools?
- Natural Elegance: The quartz surface is refined and appears more natural than other pool choices, creating a pool that looks as good as it feels.
- Year-Round Beauty: These pools can remain uncovered during winter, doubling as a visually stunning water feature or pond.
- Customization: Options to integrate boulders or other natural elements within the water vessel create an organic, serene aesthetic. Benches, beaches, steps, and bubblers are some of the most popular features included in a quartz pool.
- Exceptional Durability: You can expect your pool to last over 20 years if maintained appropriately. The resin-reinforced quartz has twice the mechanical resistance of conventional concrete, offering enhanced structural integrity and longevity. This means fewer repairs and a pool that maintains its pristine condition for decades.
- Advanced Waterproofing: The EDPM waterproofing membrane used in quartz pools has 300% more elasticity than conventional liners, ensuring superior flexibility and resistance to cracks or leaks. This added durability provides peace of mind, especially in regions with fluctuating temperatures.
Investment Range: The investment for a hand-sculpted Italian quartz pool typically ranges from $60,000 to $150,000+. This includes the pool structure and equipment but excludes related hardscapes and plantings. It’s an accessible choice for those seeking luxury at a more moderate price point compared to custom gunite pools.
Maintenance Expectations:
- Minimal Cleaning: The quartz’s natural resistance to algae and staining reduces upkeep.
- Water Chemistry Maintenance: Regular testing and balancing of pH and other levels are essential.
- Inspections: Occasional professional evaluations to ensure the integrity of the hand-sculpted surface and integrated features.
- Resin Upkeep: Check the resin yearly. On average, we'll update your resin layer every 4-5 years. This process is quick and costs less than maintaining plaster.

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.
