Let your imagination run wild. This is the pool sanctuary you've always dreamed of. Water slides, infinity edges, waterfalls, and spas, perhaps with a nearby fire pit or automated pergola and privacy panels—the options are endless. At High Prairie Outdoors & Pools, our in-house pool builders use our proprietary Experience-Driven Process to first understand your lifestyle and your Three Pillars of Memory-Making: how you connect, relax, and have fun. From there, we design to suit your unique style. It's an attentive, personalized experience you won't find anywhere else in Overland Park, Kansas.
When it comes to pools, we provide homeowners with two long-lasting, totally customizable options: gunite pools and stainess steel pools. Both options are ultra durable and 100 percent custom-designed to your style and site. We handle the design work, building, and post-construction care with our own team so you and your family can focus on living that 'alfresco lifestyle'.
Our certified pool builders are part of your family-safe Prairie Power Team, which includes degreed designers, licensed general contractors, and Lean Six Sigma-trained project managers.
