Is your pond a muddy mess?
We expect great results from our stormwater ponds. How do we achieve sustainable pond performance?
Purify your waterways with Prairie Pondscapes. We plant ornamental native grasses and flowers in formal, functional layouts. With roots holding your soil in place and absorbing pollution, Prairie Pondscapes bring harmony and value to your neglected neighborhood wetland reserves.

Together We Help
Diversity of Design
More than Erosion Control
Prairie Pondscapes tackle tough problems. For example, these ecotype-gardens typically combine rain garden, buffer strip and bioswale elements. Some designs may involve riprap, geotextiles or other green technologies. But the key is selecting ideal plants for your soil-type: a harmonious landscape that gives back more than it takes.
Clean Water
We filter the wetlands with ornamental native grasses and flowers. Their roots adapt quickly to control erosion.
Tidy Designs
Prairie Pondscapes lean on the principles of Dutch garden design: layered views, paths, geometric plots and hazy swaths of ornamental grasses.
Year-round Beauty
Successive planting means blossoms from Spring thru Autumn. Our flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds and finches all year.
Low Maintenance
Our technique & designs reduce trimming, herbicides, fertilizer, pollution, runoff, and mulch (which can wash into waterways).
Inspired by
the Flint Hills
Our designs invoke the Spirit of the tallgrass prairie & other Kansas open spaces.
Butterfly Basin
When their riprap prematurely deteriorated, we installed a meadow to filter the water.
Hummingbird Haze
We collected seed from remnant tallgrasses on-site to reconstruct a prairie for erosion control.
REAL DESIGNS.
REAL RESULTS.
REAL LIFE.
No Prairie Pondscape is the same. Each project has a different use-case.
Prairie Pondscapes are proven to work. These principles work so well… in fact, they are tax-exempt in Kansas.
