**★★★★★ — Decks by Dan KC, March 2019**

> Dan Troxel Decks by Dan.
> I consulted with the home owner's the description of the project included extensive landscaping; Retaining walls; water feature;
> outdoor kitchen; bar fire pit. I knew exactly who to call Robyn is the best professional I've ever worked with. Our customers are 100% satisfied with our work. Thankyou Robyn: Dan

**★★★★★ — Dana L, Aug. 2018**

> High Prairie Landscape Group is the most professional landscaping company the area.  From design ideas, to exact planning to installation, HPLG was amazing.  The staff know their craft, and take pride in their work. Most importantly, their communication was perfect.  Time lines and expectations were met as promised.  The worksite was clean when the job was completed.  They are a joy to work with.

**★★★★★ — maryweg, Dec. 2015**

> Met with landscape team - reviewed designs for front yard landscaping. Installed brick pathway, new drainage lines, stump removal. Tore out old landscaping - installed new! This company is one of the most professional companies we have ever hired. They listen!@ The entire team did excellent work and paid attention to the tiniest of details. They were organized, prompt, neat and extremely thorough! From owner to each and every member of the crew, they worked as though the project were their own. We are so happy with the final result. We highly recommended High Prairie Landscape Group.

**★★★★★ — turnerway, Dec. 2015**

> High Prairie Landscape Group was tremendous to work with. We had them design and install our new backyard trees, bushes and plants. They completed everything they said they would and in the time they said. We highly recommend them!@ Tyler Banker was outstanding!

**★★★★★ — Paul McAlister, Nov. 2015**

> We had drainage, grading, and landscaping done at our house. The designer was great to work with. We did at least two major versions, with numerous revisions before we reached the final plan. He was always excited to hear our ideas and eager to make the changes we wanted.
>
> It took them a few days longer than they estimated to complete the work, but that was fine because they took their time and did it correctly, instead of rushing to get it done in an arbitrary number of days.
>
> They were extremely professional, easy to communicate with, and eager to answer our questions and listen to our concerns. They worked hard and had the equipment to do the job correctly.
>
> The finished landscaping already looks great even though it was planted in the fall when most of the plants were already dormant. It will look amazing next year when all the plants have leaves. We have had a number of positive comments from our neighbors already.
>
> I would highly recommend them if you have any drainage, grading, or landscaping that you want done correctly.

**★★★★★ — macaroni02, Nov. 2014**

> I love my new landscape and I am not easy to please. Robyn is an absolute delight to work with and is extremely knowledgeable about all things plants. It was important to her that the landscape design reflects the home owner's style and plant preferences. Our project involved replacing half of the front house landscape which had become overgrown and the new plantings have blended in well. Lighting was also installed which has made our home look amazing. From planning to installation and follow up, I cannot say enough about what a great job High Prairie Landscape Group did.

**★★★★★ — clintjbaxter, Dec. 2013**

> I've worked with the owner off and on for the last 5 years. Robyn is the most professional person I've ever worked with. Her planning and organization creates a culture of success for her employees. The creativity of the designs and the craftsmanship in the projects, makes High Prairie Landscape Group a top choice of landscape design/build firms in the Kansas City Metro.

**★★★★★ — 13bushog24, Dec. 2013**

> My property is very large with very complicated topography--not for your average full service landscaping service.  I hired HPLG in Sept., 2013, to replace a company who misrepresented their capabilities.  We struck gold with HPLG because they are, by far, the most talented and organized full service landscape company that we've had and we've live here nearly a dozen years and burned through several because of the lot/lanscaping challenges and our high standards.  They are a very dependable & punctual group as well & their core execution is nearly flawless.  Their back of the house organization is equally impressive and there is never a problem with billings, hours on sight, bids, etc., etc.  They are not necessarily the cheapest group in terms of hourly rates/bids/etc., but they are not the most expensive either--somewhat middle ground I'd say & never over budget.  I could go on because I'm very pleased with our results but suffice it to say that  I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for full service landscaping & landscaping projects on just about any basis.  Fell free to contact me for more detail.

**★★★★★ — Erin Singleton, Dec. 2013**

> HPLG is an outstanding company. Not only are they highly professional, but very knowledgable and thorough, timely and guarantee their work.  They are a "one-stop-shop", meaning they can do it all!
> From irrigation systems, to landscaping, seeding, tree trimming, leaf clean up, snow removal, and they'll even put up Christmas lights! I feel as if I hit the jack-pot with this company. As of today, I have hired them to install an irrigation system, re-vamp my grass/seed for my front and back yard, install landscape and requested work for leaf clean - up (quite a few times). As the seasons change, I know my needs will change and feel lucky to know I can request work from HPLG and receive exceptional results. I have already strongly recommended to them to my neighbors  - - - and will continue to do so to all!

**★★★★★ — 6yhnmju7, Dec. 2012**

> Our experience with High Prairie Landscape Group was extremely positive.
> Their creativity, knowledge and attention to detail was excellent.  We started off just landscaping the front on our home, but it looked so beautiful we decided to go ahead and have High Prairie Landcape Group do the back as well.  We get so many compliments from our neighbors about how beautiful our home and landscaping look.
>
> They were also very patient and professional ..if I had a question or wanted to make a last minute change, it was not a problem, because all they wanted was for my husband and I to be completely satisfied.
>
> We would definately recommend High Prairie Landscaping to everyone!

**★★★★★ — heatherleith, Dec. 2012**

> Robyn and her team at High Prairie Landscape Group are top-notch. She is very flexible and reliable about scheduling and is wonderfully patient, practical and artistic in creating just the right design for you. She really listens and tries to incorporate your personal preferences and needs in your landscape plan, but also makes great suggestions of her own. She and all the guys who work with her are incredibly good-natured, polite, friendly and reliable. They executed Robyn's plans perfectly and on schedule, and they did an immaculate job of cleaning up afterwards. It is always a pleasure to work with Robyn and her team -- for design and installation as well as for ongoing maintenance.  We have found all of HPLG's services to be a great value and have really enjoyed the fruits of their labors!

**★★★★★ — sarahbeyer, Nov. 2012**

> We used the Lady Landscaper on two occasions: 1) to help with making our backyard a special place to spend time and 2) to relandscape the front of the house after adding sidewalks.  We were so happy with the results of both projects.  Each time "the Lady Landscaper" was able to come in and with minimal disruption quickly and efficently make the transformations.
> We were very impressed with how she listened to what we said we wanted and succeded (actually surpassed) our expectations.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Flower details** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the pink vining flower?

A: This is a tropical plant called a "Mandavilla". They like warm temps and a fair amount of moisture and sunlight. In cooler climates, they can be stored indoors over the winter.

**Q: what plants did you use in this landscape?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: To soften the slope, we used a combination of Golden Moneywort, Lirope, and Catmint. The shrub you see is a dwarf Caryopteris perfect for a slope. Notice the Liriope along the stone steps will both soften the hard edges and prevent soil erosion. We're anxious for spring for some new pictures!

**Q: what kind of tree is this on the right?** *(in Photo Questions)*

what kind of tree is this on the right?

A: This is a columnar form of Blue Atlas Cedar with a cultivar name of "Hortsmann". Does great in full sun and provides a much needed texture change in most landscapes! Grows slowly reaching a mature height of 10' tall and about 5' wide. USDA cold hardiness zones 6-9.
