A huge part of creating an outdoor living space rests in the landscape lighting. The same way lighting is important for the mood and atmosphere of your home's interior, landscape lights make an impact on how your outdoor space looks and feels. Our outdoor lighting specialists provide both LED and solar landscape lighting solutions. For better efficiency and a lower energy bill, our experts also offer low voltage landscape lighting. Second Nature's landscape lighting designer will listen to your ideas on lighting applications for your outdoor space and can also make recommendations based on what parts of an outdoor design you would like to shine a light on.

Water features are a beautiful part of any landscape project and our pond contractors have the experience and skills to create a tranquil pond feature in your yard. Our pond installers not only create your aqua space, but also help you design a solution that fits into your landscape flawlessly. Choosing a pond contractor with Second Nature will provide the ideal water feature. From something as small as a koi pond to as large as a complicated fishing pond, the experts we have on staff will be able to successfully design and install the feature on budget and on schedule.

Whether you have commercial or residential property you likely have lawn or landscaping surrounding your home or business. Irrigation and proper watering is vital to maintaining your landscape. Without a proper irrigation system, flooding or water damage can occur to any structures in the area and can ruin your landscaping in the process. With over 20 years of experience, Second Nature can design and install an irrigation system for you in anywhere in the Kansas City Metro area. Our experience has given us an understanding of the local terrain in the Kansas City area and how water interacts with the terrain in regards to irrigation and drainage.

The difference between Second Nature and other landscaping companies is the process our landscape professionals go through to make your outdoor space vision a reality. Our staff is more than just landscapers - they are landscape architects and landscape designers that know the nuances of construction and the elements of design for your outdoor living space. From the start of a project, a landscape designer will work with you to match your vision with professional design details and input. They will make sure you love the design plan before handing it off to a landscape architect.

Who says all living spaces need to be indoors? When you choose custom design, you can create an outdoor living space that meets all your needs, including a kitchen area. Second Nature offers outdoor kitchen construction from design to build that fits your exact specifications. Choosing outdoor kitchen contractors will improve your outdoor living space to make it completely comfortable and convenient. Adding a kitchen to your outdoor living area will mean you never waste a beautiful day cooking inside when you could be enjoying your beautiful patio.

Autumn brings us breathtaking fall foliage and leaves that are ablaze with brilliant colors; deep red, rustic orange and golden yellow. However, the daylight hours drop and eventually the leaves do too. The Second Nature specialty team is available for weekly or monthly leaf removal or an extensive one-time fall leaf cleanup. Our crews will rid your property of fallen leaves from the smallest particles to those that are hidden by bushes and smashed under shrubs. Raking, bagging and hauling leaves is time consuming.

You can enhance the functionality of your property by adding one or more outdoor amenities, including patios, decks, walkways, and pool surroundings. A custom patio, with or without an outdoor kitchen is a natural gathering place for friends and family to meet. Alfresco entertaining is a four season possibility when you have a patio fireplace or fire pit. A patio can be open to the sun, or you can have a covered patio with a solid roof for use even when it's raining. A lattice or pergola top will provide just the right amount of shade and style.

Serving the Kansas City Metro area for over 20 years, Second Nature is your outdoor planning solution for the two primary components of landscape design: hardscape and softscape. Hardscape refers to the permanent structures of your outdoor area while softscape brings to life horticultural elements such as flowers, shrubs, plants and trees. Hardscape elements are inanimate, durable and remain the same year-over-year. We offer hardscape landscaping, which includes walkways, decks, retaining walls and any type of outdoor feature that is constructed using hardwearing materials such as wood, concrete, pavers and landscaping rocks.

Landscape design means more than just creating an outdoor space. Second Nature understands that lawn maintenance and professional lawn mowing and care require a great deal of design and care to keep your outdoor space looking spectacular. Our local lawn care services range from simple grass mowing to lawn treatment and aeration. Second Nature also provides a lawn care maintenance service that includes landscaping bushes, flowers, trees, and outdoor living spaces. All of our various lawn maintenance services are tailored for each lawn and the area's topography.

Snow falling is a magical experience but also a headache when people need to commute to get to work or run errands.

Because of this, we offer snow removal services, snow plow service, and snow and ice management. Our snow removal business utilizes a fleet of modern equipment for snow plowing to provide fast and efficient commercial snow removal.

Water is the most calming outdoor element, creating a perfect feature for your outdoor space. Second Nature provides a variety of water features to enhance your outdoor living or landscaping project. The sounds of bubbling, trickling, rushing, or roaring water provide a serenity that completes an outdoor space. Our commercial and residential water features can be a simple fountain or an extravagant waterfall. Small bubbling features can serve as a perfect accent to an outdoor living space to present a tranquil atmosphere.
