Our priority when we’re working with the homeowners of Fairway is protecting the integrity of the trees while providing our clients with gorgeous outdoor spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Think About Your Project Scope
When it comes to hiring a contractor or business to complete your landscape project, going with a business that has the experience is crucial to the success of the job. In most towns, you’ll need to meet their requirements for large carpentry projects, pergolas attached to homes, construction, patios, roofing, landscaping, hardscaping, and pools.
Whether or not you’ll need permits depends on where you’re located and the scope of your project. Your project scope can also impact whether or not local officials will need to be involved. Projects that could have an impact on the community may need more detailed plans and involvement.
Always Hire a Professional
To make sure your project goes as smoothly as possible and ends in success, one of the best things you can do is hire a licensed and insured professional, such as High Prairie Outdoors. We’re here to make sure your project is completed without the common issues that come with hiring subcontractors.
General Contractors
One of the many things we pride ourselves on is knowing that we are licensed general contractors and professional pool builders rather than subcontractors. This allows us to make sure your project is handled by a team of experts with the skills and equipment to get your landscaping and hardscaping done right.
In-House Architectural Consultants
In addition to licensed contractors, High Prairie Outdoors also has a team of in-house architectural consultants available to discuss any plans that need to be stamped with engineer approval. Being able to consult with industry experts shows you that we take your project seriously and will give it the attention it deserves.
Consider Fairway’s Permitting & Codes
Before any construction begins on your Fairway home, it’s crucial that all permits and other necessary paperwork are taken care of. The city of Fairway has its zoning regulations and code adherence that needs to be followed for any construction project, whether it’s a new outdoor kitchen or a patio. Hiring a professional general contractor will ensure those rules are met.
The consequences of failing to get the needed permits or sticking to codes can be problematic to deal with. For most situations, there will be a significant fine from the city that needs to be paid. In some situations, the entire structure may need to be removed. It’s important to look into the specifics of which permits are needed and what codes will need to be met. The good news is, if you’re hiring a professional such as High Prairie Outdoors, much of that legwork will be taken care of for you, leaving you to focus on designing the outdoor space you’ve always dreamed of.
In-House Experts Craft Your Outdoor Sanctuary
Your home is more than just a house. Many people have adequate outdoor spaces, but they aren’t using them to their full potential. Extending your living space outdoors is a great idea, and High Prairie Outdoors is here to help. From a cozy fire pit to an outdoor kitchen to automatic pergolas, there are a ton of possibilities. Adding a pergola allows you to have a true year-round living and entertaining space in your backyard. When you add a fire feature, you’ll be nice and comfortable no matter what time of year it is.
