Kristopher Kleinschmidt

Owner/Designer

Received a Masters of Landscape Architecture and a secondary degree in Natural Resources of Environmental Sciences from Kansas State University. LEED accredited professional.

This project was a collaboration between Phronesis (designers and fence), Musselman &amp; Hall (concrete), Machine Head (corten) and Ksquared Landscapes (Landscape and Hardscape).

Homeowner had an issue with stormwater runoff that would erode away the grass and soil in their yard. The solution was a 3-tier rain garden filled with native plants that would add color while slowing down the runoff.

Homeowner had a yard that they wanted to improve the curb appeal through more colors while keeping maintenance to a minimum. Native plants and grasses help keep the maintenance down while adding color and will attract wildlife/beneficial insects.

Homeowner had a drainage issue where stormwater would collect in the middle of their yard. The solution was to turn the area where the water collects to a rock garden with a drain inlet to take the stormwater away.

Homeowner had a yard with overgrown plants and lacked curb appeal in their opinion. The solution was to add drought tolerate plants with lots of color and a small retaining wall. The retaining wall helped alleviate the steep slope.

The homeowners had remodeled their house and wanted a landscape that would complement the remodel. The design includes a limestone pathway connecting driveway to front door, a cedar fence to fence in the backyard, new limestone window wells and native gra

We used K Squared for our landscaping after seeing the excellent work they did for a neighbor, and couldn't be happier. We contacted Kristopher because our backyard had terrible drainage and flooded with every rain. He not only totally fixed the drainage issues but also created a zen garden vibe that turned out better than we could have hoped. He was incredibly flexible in his designs, and great at explaining what materials and plants he recommended, how to care for them, etc. We will be contacting him about the front yard next year and have recommended him to other neighbors who need landscaping help.

Kris did a wonderful job transforming our blank canvas of a backyard into an oasis for native plants and wildlife, while designing a solution for our drainage issues. He and his team were very professional; everything came in on time and on budget. We look forward to working with them again.

Kris is a credentialed professional who performs at the level of the best large companies with a small business touch. Kris designed and constructed a complete overhaul of my sloping front yard. He listened to what I wanted, shared his vision, and then designed and delivered on time and on budget. Project included natural boulder retaining walls, water diversion into rain garden, and native plantings. Highly recommend him and his crew for any landscaping/hardscaping project.

We loved working with Kris. It was our first experience with a landscape architect and we certainly made the right choice. He made our backyard look so amazing! He is a good listener and his work is reasonably priced. We highly recommend Kris and K2.
