THE COLLABORATOR ADVANTAGE For Interior Designers
At the Top, We Collaborate!
It’s no secret that the rest of the world perceives the mid-west as a bit ‘behind the times’ in regards to style, fashion, and method. Like many of our collaborators, we’ve traveled the world studying and procuring the best products, methods, and styles. We strongly believe that the Kansas City design community coupled with our robust and talented trades are making a positive impact both on the lives of our clients and on the faulty perception of being ‘behind-the-times’. We’re passionate about elevating the lives of our clients while celebrating and elevating like- minded businesses who also believe in not settling for mediocracy in terms of service, style, and longevity. What if we built each other up and helped push each other towards greatness? Robyn Schmitz Founder, High Prairie Outdoors

Expanding Your Reach and Revenue into Outdoor Spaces
YOUR UNIQUE CHALLENGES You create stunning interiors, but outdoor spaces often feel disconnected from your designs. Your common struggles include: A lack of cohesion between interior and exterior spaces – Landscapers often fail to match luxury stylingor they just don’t ‘get-it’. Missed revenue opportunities – Many designers overlook the financial potential of outdoor spaces. Managing multiple contractors – Coordinating landscapers, pool- builders, and hardscapers adds complexity. Limited outdoor expertise – You’re an expert of the indoor world, but the materials, methods, and processes for the outdoors requires a deep focus specifically on the outdoors. WAY beyond specifying patio furniture!

For years, industry professionals have had to settle for lower standards in outdoor construction, navigating a fragmented system that prioritizes low per-unit pricing over true quality. The status quo favors cost-cutting, where established companies substitute inferior materials, rush craftsmanship, and focus on volume rather than precision. This outdated subcontractor model forces professionals to coordinate multiple vendors, leading to delays, miscommunications, and inconsistent execution. The result? Lost opportunity costs, extended project timelines, and a diminished final product that fails to reflect the high standards of luxury design and construction. High Prairie Outdoors rejects this model, offering a streamlined, single-source solution that delivers exceptional craftsmanship, lasting value, and elevated client experiences without compromise.

We provide continued care, responsiveness, and support long after the project is complete, ensuring your investment thrives for years. ✅ Elite Team of HP Pros – Our team members are certified, educated, and year-round professionals who pass national background checks, providing peace of mind in every interaction. ✅ No Seasonal Workers, Industry-Leading Retention – Unlike companies that rely on seasonal workers or high turnover, we retain and invest in our full-time team members. With one of the highest retention rates in the industry, we ensure better project timelines, consistent quality, and a stronger commitment to excellence.
Case Study
THE PROJECT Comprehensive, 6 Acre Design: High Prairie Outdoors Custom Gunite Pool, Sundeck, Infinity Spa: High Prairie Outdoors Renson Louvered Pergola, Glass Walls, Wood Screens, and Hidden Bathroom: High Prairie Outdoors Hardscaping: Patio, Steps, Walls, Kitchen, Masonry: High Prairie Outdoors Planting and Irrigation: High Prairie Outdoors Lighting: High Prairie Outdoors Challenging convention begins by seeking to improve broken systems or processes. At High Prairie Outdoors, we’ve listened to thousands of people when it comes to what frustrated them about “contractors” and “building”. We believe in the idea of helping others and perpetually improving, not just following status-quo. You’re about to discover just how different HPO is, by using this incredible Blue Springs, Missouri project as an example. You don’t have to settle for the “norm” and you don’t have to be fooled by low-ball contracts that skyrocket once construction starts.

LEGACY PROGRAM Longer Lasting. Comprehensive Services. Elevated Style. How Many Companies Did it Take to Build the Project? Why Should you Care? By self-performing 95% of our work, our clients benefit in several ways: Consistent quality and standards, which are higher than the industry’s. Less production gaps waiting for the next company.
Control over the caliber of staff, their training, and how “Family-Safe” they are. Less mid-project change/orders and scope creep resulting from multiple companies trying to work in the same area. “Surprises”.

THE INDUSTRY NORM How Does the “Contract Holder” Ensure Quality, Stability, and Accountabilitly? Wait.... How Does a Company Make Promises for 22 Other Businesses? Subcontracting can be okay, BUT more subs = more risk for you. Here’s why: Less Stability- Presuming all 20+ companies are able to stay in business, fully staff, and manage their finances is a risk. Quality “Guessing-Game” - 20+ companies do not have the same quality standards. Ever. More “Costly Surprises” - More companies = more unclear areas in the scope. This results in less accountability, more change-orders, and the “blame-game”.

The “Norm” = Longer project times, Less Quality Consistency, Less Peace-of-Mind for Warranty/Issues, Higher Project Cost
THE INDUSTRY NORM
Years of Sub-Contracting Together Doesn’t Equal a Guarantee.... Staffing: How many of the companies perform background checks to ensure no violent history or theft? Staffing: How do those companies train and certify? Schedules: More gaps in production as your project stalls waiting for the next company to show up. WHO ACTUALLY TAKES CARE OF YOUR WARRANTY WITH 23 COMPANIES??? How does your “Contract Holder” manage quality when they don’t build it or possibly know how? What happens if even one of those companies gets sued?
