"Adam and Mark were great and very consultative and personable in their approach to business. I had two other contractors ghost me and Prairieside Concepts saved the day."

"Their work quality is second to none. Even better is their creativity. Solved a very technical drainage problem in the back yard. Transformed the front yard with a retaining wall matching the stone on the house and all new landscape. Have them coming back for additional projects."

The Backyard You Already Have

Too much sun is keeping you inside.

You love your backyard. You just don't spend enough time in it. Too much sun, not enough shade, and it doesn't take long before you're heading back inside.

A custom pergola changes that. It gives your family a comfortable place for morning coffee, weekend get-togethers, or unwinding after a long day. With the touch of a button, you get the perfect balance of sun and shade, whenever you want it.

Every Prairieside pergola is designed for your home, your lifestyle, and Kansas City's weather, not pulled from a catalog.

Adam McGovern

Co-Founder · Third-Generation Home Builder

Adam McGovern is a third-generation home builder. Mark brings a background in landscape design. Together, they built Prairieside Concepts to be a true full-service outdoor living contractor, handling everything from A to Z so you never have to hire or coordinate outside contractors yourself.

When you work with us, you're not being passed off to a separate landscaper, a separate mason, and a separate pergola installer. You get one team, one point of contact, and a finished space that fits together the way it should.

  • 100+ years of combined team experience
  • In-house crews for design and construction
  • Honest, transparent pricing, no bait and switch
  • Authorized Corradi dealer for premium pergola systems

This is what we build toward on every project.

The Prairieside Difference

Three things that make working with us different.

01

Custom Design, Not A Catalog Pick.

No two backyards are the same. Every pergola we build is designed to fit your home and how you actually live in your space, not pulled from a template.

02

One Team, Start To Finish.

We handle design, permits, and construction ourselves. You won't need to track down separate contractors or manage the project on your own.

03

Honest Pricing, No Surprises.

When you sign a contract with us, we complete the work without asking for more money. Change orders can still happen, but there's no bait and switch.
