Last week I traveled to Las Vegas to visit a project Highland Outdoor has been involved with for the last year or so. Our client, D. Andersen Consulting, has enlisted our services to help manage, from a top tier, an estate home located in the prestigious Lake Las Vegas resort area, approximately 20 minutes off the Las Vegas Strip.

I was able to take some high-resolution photography of this stunning project, which is unique in several ways:

• The property is fully automated - everything from the irrigation system to the outdoor lighting to the water features to the electronics inside the house.
• The climate at Lake Las Vegas can change frequently. For example, when I was there, it was near 90 degrees, then dropped to 60 degrees this week - causing demands on irrigation that are unseasonable.
• Plantings and turf need constant attention to assure that they look pristine at all times.
• Interior plants have limited light when the home is not actively used, which is approximately 25% of the time.
• Local Las Vegas contractors have to work with D. Andersen and Highland Outdoor, both of which are located in the Midwest, therefore frequent travel to the property is necessary.
• The property owner desires the property to look 100% every day of the year, in case spontaneous business or personal entertaining is necessary. (In fact, we once had to fly out there on a moments notice to address some maintenance concerns prior to a cocktail party)

We are proud to be part of dynamic projects like this, in Kansas City and beyond. Check out the gallery here.
