The Problem: When Standard Gardening Isn’t Enough

Many landscape companies operate on routine rather than artistry. They mow, trim, and replace the same plantings each year, with little thought given to long-term health or design. The result? Properties that feel ordinary and overworked instead of fresh and vibrant.

Homeowners often experience:

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

Your home deserves a landscape that’s as intentional as its architecture. It requires care rooted in knowledge and precision, not repetition.

The Solution: The High Prairie Fine Gardening Program

Our Fine Gardening Program in Shawnee, KS delivers complete property care tailored to discerning homeowners. Each visit is guided by horticultural expertise, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of how great landscapes evolve over time.

The High Prairie Approach

Creating and maintaining a truly remarkable garden requires more than piecemeal service. That’s why our Fine Gardening Program is offered exclusively as an all-inclusive package. This structure allows us to manage every component that affects your landscape’s health and appearance, from soil and irrigation to design and seasonal care.

When multiple vendors divide responsibility, communication suffers and results decline. With one expert team overseeing everything, your property receives the attention it deserves and the consistency it requires.

Our philosophy is proactive, not reactive. We identify potential issues early, address them efficiently, and keep your garden looking polished through every season.

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 Garden Revived

After years of working with a large landscape company, one Shawnee homeowner found their gardens no longer reflected their home’s charm. Routine maintenance had replaced thoughtful care, and their once-beautiful spaces were losing character. That changed when they partnered with High Prairie Outdoors & Pools.

After our first consultation, we developed a comprehensive plan to restore the property, refining garden bed structure, improving soil health, and reimagining seasonal plantings.

Within weeks, the difference was visible. The gardens regained their vibrancy, and the homeowners described their outdoor spaces as “restored to better than ever”. Four years later, they still rate our service 100/100 in quality and satisfaction.
