Landscaping Services in Wichita, KS
Complete landscaping solutions for Wichita homeowners and businesses — from custom planting plans to full yard transformations built for the Kansas climate.
Transform Your Outdoor Space
Great landscaping can strengthen curb appeal, provide shade, help manage erosion, and create outdoor living spaces your family actually uses. Value and energy effects vary by project, placement, home, and market. In south-central Kansas, the design also needs to account for summer heat, winter weather, wind, and clay-heavy soils.
Prestige Lawn Care designs and installs landscaping for Wichita metro conditions. We select plants using current local hardiness guidance and the site's soil, sun, moisture, and exposure, then plan beds and drainage around the property. Every project starts with a site evaluation.
From our Rose Hill base, we serve the entire Wichita metro — Andover, Derby, Augusta, Maize, Goddard, and all surrounding communities. Whether you need a small front yard refresh or a complete backyard overhaul, our landscaping services are part of a full range of lawn care and outdoor services built for Kansas homeowners.

What Our Landscaping Team Handles
From planning to planting to long-term maintenance, we cover every phase of the landscaping process.
Custom Landscape Design
We develop planting plans tailored to your property's soil, sun exposure, drainage patterns, mature plant size, and current local hardiness guidance.
Planting and Installation
Trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, perennials, and annuals — we handle the sourcing, delivery, soil prep, and installation for every plant in your landscape plan.
Bed Creation and Edging
New landscape beds with clean edges, proper grading for drainage, soil amendments mixed into the native clay, and professional-grade landscape fabric where appropriate.
Grading and Drainage
Proper grading directs water away from foundations and prevents standing water in beds. We correct slopes, install drainage solutions, and build up low spots.
Mulching and Ground Cover
We apply mulch to all planted beds to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. We recommend 2-3 inches of hardwood mulch refreshed annually.
Landscaping That Survives the Wichita Climate
South-central Kansas landscapes face a combination of seasonal heat and cold, late freezes, thunderstorms, wind, and clay soils that may drain slowly after heavy rain and harden as they dry. Site conditions can vary substantially from one yard to the next.
Our approach addresses every one of these conditions:
- Heat-tolerant selections — Ornamental grasses like little bluestem and switchgrass, native perennials like purple coneflower and black-eyed Susan, and drought-resistant shrubs that do not wilt in August
- Wind-resistant layouts — Strategic tree placement creates windbreaks that protect your home and garden beds from Kansas gusts that regularly exceed 40 mph
- Soil amendments — We evaluate the soil before selecting amendments. Compost may be useful in some beds; gypsum is considered only when soil chemistry and site conditions support it
- Four-season interest — Evergreen anchors provide winter structure while flowering plants rotate through spring, summer, and fall blooms
Kansas State University Extension resources confirm that plant selection based on local hardiness zones and soil testing is the single biggest factor in landscape longevity. We follow those guidelines on every project.
How We Shape a Landscape That Lasts
From soil review to plant placement and cleanup, each step is planned around the way the yard drains, gets sun, and will be maintained after installation.

We put together a landscaping plan with plant selections, layout, materials, and a detailed cost estimate. You review and approve before any work begins.
Installation
Our crew handles all site prep, soil amendments, planting, mulching, and cleanup. Most residential projects are completed in one to three days.
Aftercare and Maintenance
We provide watering instructions and can set up ongoing bed maintenance to keep your new landscape looking its best year after year.

The best planting windows in south-central Kansas are early spring (March through May) and early fall (September through October). Spring planting gives roots the entire growing season to establish before winter. Fall planting takes advantage of cooler temperatures and consistent rain. We avoid major planting during the hottest summer months when transplant stress is highest, though hardscaping and bed prep can be done year-round.
We recommend plants suited to current local hardiness guidance and the conditions in your yard. Depending on the site, options may include ornamental grasses, flowering perennials, adaptable shrubs, and suitable shade trees. Sun, shade, soil, moisture, mature size, and available space all factor into the plan.
Yes. We design and install landscaping for residential properties of all sizes as well as commercial properties including office parks, retail centers, and HOA common areas throughout the Wichita metro. Commercial projects follow the same design principles — climate-appropriate plants, proper drainage, and low-maintenance layouts that look professional year-round.
