Leawood Landscaping Design & Build FAQ

Most landscapes range from $6000 to over $50,000 for the planting. Estates can be over $50,000 for landscape planting. Front landscapes range from $6000 to $35,000.

A High Prairie Landscape is designed to get better over time while maximizing your family’s enjoyment outdoors. Our proprietary “Experience Driven Design Process” dives deep into the things that help your family relax, connect, and play in the outdoors. The resulting design forms the foundation of a landscape installed with lasting principals in mind: Soil nourishment, top-tier plants, and detailed features customized to your unique way of connecting with your loved ones.
High Prairie has several experienced stone masons on staff who build beautiful hardscapes every day. We only use trade partners for finished concrete or some veneer work with our stone masons are booked out. 98% of our stonework is done by our internal team. 100% of our stonework is managed to pass quality standards by our team.
Your landscape will mature based on the size of plant installed, care received, and weather patterns after planting. On average, trees take 2-3 years to overcome transplant shock and begin growing, shrubs begin filling in by year 2-5, and perennials reach fullness by year three. A fully mature landscape may take 5-12 years depending upon the size of trees used.
Your new landscape will require extra care during the first few years and your plants establish. Even with low maintenance plants, they need additional deep waterings, nutrient supplementation, and cultural practices to remove competing weeds or health concerns for the first few years.
