Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design service creates tailored outdoor spaces using climate-adapted plants and durable hardscape elements. We combine native and exotic species to ensure year-round visual interest while minimizing maintenance requirements. Each design considers long-term growth patterns and environmental sustainability, helping homeowners increase property value by 10-15% through professional landscaping solutions that balance aesthetics with practicality.
Natural Stone Patios
We construct premium natural stone patios and retaining walls that enhance property aesthetics while providing functional outdoor living spaces. Our craftsmen select high-quality stone materials that complement local architecture and withstand Kansas weather conditions. These durable installations serve as focal points for residential landscapes while adding structural value to properties through professionally engineered designs.
Drainage Systems
Our drainage solutions address water runoff issues through strategically designed rain gardens and grading systems. We implement sustainable practices that channel stormwater away from structures while promoting groundwater absorption. These systems prevent landscape erosion and foundation damage through proper water redirection techniques that integrate seamlessly with overall landscape designs.
Landscape Lighting
We install low-voltage landscape lighting systems that enhance nighttime visibility and security while highlighting architectural features and plant specimens. Our designs balance functionality with aesthetic appeal, using energy-efficient LED fixtures that require minimal maintenance. Proper lighting placement creates inviting outdoor environments while extending usable hours for residential and commercial properties.
Residential Landscaping
Our residential landscaping service transforms home exteriors through comprehensive design-build projects that include plant installations, hardscape elements, and seasonal color displays.

Daniel is phenomenal! This landscaping company is exactly what we needed for our small, rocky and heavily-rooted townhome yard. They were responsive to my ideas, showed up promptly, worked efficiently and carried out all elements of the proposed plan. We feel so fortunate to have this company agree to work on our project.

We had a really complex drainage ditch/French drain situation that Low Maintenance handled quickly and we couldn't be happier with the solution they provided. They even went above and beyond and added some mulching around the front of our house, a small area that I had no idea how to handle myself. We will be using Low Maintenance for many more projects in the future. Thanks, guys!

Low Maintenance has landscaped both of the 2 homes we have owned over the past 19 years. The trees, plants, and designs are beautiful and flourish in every season. In addition to creating beautifully cultivated beds they expertly maintain their work. Liz manages the maintenance team with excellence. They diligently work to prepare the landscape for each season, pruning and trimming as needed. Also, each time I have requested a special service, Liz responds promptly and the team arrives and does the extra work. I recommend Low Maintenance Landscape for initial design, planting, and maintenance.

Absolutely stellar customer service! Liz, leader of the maintenance crew, is so personable, fun, and responsive! She always quickly and effectively answers any plant care questions I have. Laura, the landscape designer, is thoroughly knowledgeable and personable, too. Their nursery features high quality plants, and they have the right people to help you out!

We have now completed 2 major projects with the Low Maintenance Landscaping team and are excited to continue renovating our yard over the next couple years with them. I was immediately impressed by Laura Odell's horticultural expertise and her ability to connect to my vision for our yard and her assistance as I grow from a novice into a more dedicated gardener. The innovative ideas in her original design have helped us imagine something truly special - including elements we didn't even know were possible like a pondless waterfall.
We were especially wowed by Tyler and Jon's work the implementation of that pondless waterfall (including rockgarden renovation) and in particular with Tyler's ability to both listen and be open to direction when our vision was very specific and to use his expertise and artistry when we gave them free rein. We've been truly glad to work with this group and both we and now our neighbors are planning to set up an appointment for next year's big project.
