You’ve invested in a beautiful home, but does your landscape truly reflect its elegance? Many homeowners in Mission Hills, Kansas, settle for standard landscaping services that merely maintain the status quo rather than enhance the experience. If your outdoor spaces feel stagnant, neglected, or uninspired, it may be time for a change.
High Prairie Outdoors’ Fine Gardening Program is a comprehensive, white-glove approach to landscape care. More than just maintenance, we curate, refine, and enhance every aspect of your outdoor space. Our proactive team ensures that your garden evolves with the seasons, with hand-selected plantings, meticulous garden bed weeding, and expert garden bed maintenance—all tailored to the refined aesthetic of your property.
The Problem: Why Standard Landscape Maintenance Falls Short
Many landscape services operate on autopilot—trimming, mowing, and planting the same uninspired seasonal rotations year after year. The result? A lackluster, aging landscape that loses its charm over time. Homeowners face:
- Uninspired flower beds – The same begonias, geraniums, and cookie-cutter designs seen everywhere.
- Unreliable crews – Companies that fail to show up, don’t do what they promise, or experience high employee turnover.
- Missed opportunities – A passive approach to landscape care means your garden doesn’t evolve, thrive, or reflect its full potential.
The Solution: A Bespoke Fine Gardening Experience
High Prairie Outdoors takes a different approach—one that aligns with the high expectations of Mission Hills homeowners who value craftsmanship, style, and consistency.
Our Fine Gardening Program includes:
- Meticulous Garden Bed Maintenance – Pristine edges, deep soil nourishment, and proactive plant health care.
- Expert Garden Bed Weeding – Removing even the most stubborn intruders while preserving your plantings.
- Seasonal Enhancements – High-style color rotations tailored to create visual impact, informed by plant trial research.
- Turf & Lawn Perfection – Precision mowing, aeration, fertilization, and specialized treatments for lush greenery.
- Irrigation Optimization – Smart irrigation systems designed for efficiency and water conservation.
- Pool & Hardscape Detailing – Everything from pool care to walkway and patio maintenance, ensuring a polished outdoor aesthetic.
Our proprietary property scorecard tracks and measures the health and beauty of your space, ensuring continuous improvements over time. With a dedicated team that stays on your property year after year, we guarantee seamless service and expert-level care.

Our employee retention rate is 92%—far above the industry average of 40-60%. Unlike companies that rely on seasonal labor, our team consists of year-round, highly trained professionals who understand the nuances of your landscape. You get to see the same teams on your property every week and we’re able to maintain our quality and consistency because we aren’t perpetually retraining.

Our services are in high demand, and we carefully select properties that align with our fine gardening approach. FYI, the average landscape company maintenance contract renewal rate starts at 75%, which means we keep our clients delighted.

We take an artistic approach to seasonal enhancements, utilizing plant trial gardens to determine the most robust, vibrant, and impactful floral displays. Say goodbye to uninspired plantings—our expert designs ensure your garden stands out.
A Single, Expert Team for a Seamless Experience
No more juggling multiple service providers. With High Prairie Outdoors, one dedicated team manages all aspects of your garden, lawn, irrigation, and outdoor maintenance—delivering a seamless, worry-free experience.
Client Success: A Garden Restored
One Mission Hills homeowner had worked with the same landscape company for 20 years—despite their growing frustration with declining quality, poor communication, and missed visits. Leaving felt like a difficult decision after such a long relationship, but they couldn’t ignore the fact that their once-beautiful garden was losing its charm. They assumed all landscape services operated this way—until they found High Prairie Outdoors.
Upon our first visit, we outlined eight key improvements to restore and refine their outdoor space, from redefining garden bed structure to revitalizing ground cover and detailing neglected beds.
Within one month, their property manager raved that their garden hadn’t looked this good in years. After a full year of seasonal rotations, the homeowners claimed it had never looked better.
Four years later, they rate our service 100/100 in quality and customer satisfaction—proving that the right landscape team makes all the difference.
Is Our Fine Gardening Program Right for You?
This service is ideal for homeowners who:
- Value a garden that stands apart from ordinary landscapes.
- Understand that fine gardening protects their landscape investment.
- Prefer a single, accountable company to handle all aspects of garden care.
- Expect a team that understands different garden styles—formal, naturalized, modern, and more.
This service is not a fit for:
- Homeowners who prioritize the lowest price over expertise.
- Those looking for a one-time or seasonal visit—fine gardening requires ongoing care.
