Gardens Designed to Match Your Lifestyle
Your home deserves outdoor spaces that reflect its character. Yet many homeowners in Overland Park, Kansas, find their landscapes feel static, maintained but never elevated. Standard gardening services often focus on routine upkeep, not artistry or evolution.
At High Prairie Outdoors & Pools, we offer Fine Gardening Services that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Our tailored approach combines horticultural precision with thoughtful design, keeping your property elegant, healthy, and seasonally stunning throughout the year.
The Problem: Why Standard Gardening Falls Short
Most companies approach landscape care with speed in mind, not craftsmanship. They trim, mow, and move on, leaving behind gardens that feel repetitive and lifeless.
Homeowners are often left with:
- Declining or stagnant landscapes that never quite reach your garden’s full potential
- Crews that change frequently and lack consistency
- A lack of proactive care or seasonal evolution
- Juggling multiple companies in an attempt to achieve thriving gardens
A luxury home deserves more than simple maintenance, it deserves intentional, high-touch care that enhances its beauty year after year.
The Solution: The High Prairie Fine Gardening Program
Our Fine Gardening Program offers complete, detail-oriented care for properties that require a higher level of expertise. Every visit is guided by horticultural knowledge, aesthetic awareness, and long-term planning.
Our comprehensive program in Overland Park, KS includes:
- Meticulous Garden Bed Care Tailored to Your Style– Deep soil cultivation, edge detailing, and pruning to preserve plant form and design intent.
- Expert Weeding & Plant Health Care – Our specialists identify issues early and hand-treat plants to promote vitality.
- Seasonal Enhancements – Thoughtfully curated color rotations backed by plant trial research for unmatched seasonal displays.

- Irrigation Optimization – Water-smart systems and monitoring to protect plant health and conserve resources.

Each property receives a custom garden health scorecard, allowing us to measure progress and continually refine your landscape’s performance and appearance.

What Sets High Prairie Outdoors & Pools Apart
The Legacy Program Advantage
The Legacy Program is High Prairie Outdoors’ proprietary operating system—an integrated approach that blends our experience-driven design method with old-world European construction techniques to create the longest-lasting, most elevated outdoor spaces in Kansas City. Every project benefits from exclusive, high-style materials and artisan-quality craftsmanship not found elsewhere, ensuring your garden, pool, and hardscapes age with beauty and durability. Step three of the program continues the excellence with our comprehensive Fine Gardening, water-management, pool-care, and hardscape-servicing programs, giving you a fully supported, turnkey outdoor lifestyle year after year.
A Single, Expert Team for a Seamless Experience
No more juggling multiple service providers. With High Prairie Outdoors & Pools, one dedicated team manages all aspects of your garden, lawn, irrigation, and outdoor maintenance—delivering a seamless, worry-free experience.
Curated Seasonal Color & Design
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.
Property Scorecard for Measurable Results
Every High Prairie Outdoors maintenance relationship begins with a benchmark Property Scorecard—your customized rating of the landscape’s starting point. Throughout the year, both your account manager and our trained horticulturists privately score your property to track improvements, identify opportunities, and ensure your garden continually advances. This measurable system gives you meaningful, ongoing feedback far beyond a standard survey.
Elite Employee Retention for Consistent Quality
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.
Exclusivity & Proven Results
We maintain a 98% contract renewal rate, with many of our clients staying with us for years. 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.
Client Success: A Landscape Renewed
One Overland Park family had worked with the same landscape company for nearly twenty years. Over time, the results declined—missed visits, fading color, and a garden that no longer reflected their home’s beauty. They assumed this level of care was typical until they partnered with High Prairie Outdoors & Pools.
Our first property review identified several opportunities to refresh and enhance their gardens, including restructuring planting beds, restoring soil vitality, and introducing high-performing seasonal color.
Within weeks, their outdoor spaces regained their vibrancy. After a full year of tailored care, the homeowners described their property as “better than ever”. Four years later, they continue to rate our service 100/100 in quality and satisfaction.
