Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design

If I could give 10 stars, I would. From start to finish, they are the best. Mary is a true landscape ARTIST! Her designs are well thought out and she always listens to your vision, while making sure to choose appropriate plants for the soil/zone/sun exposure. They source quality plants and create multiple seasons of blooming foliage for a gorgeous end result. I’ve used this company for multiple projects, and I plan to use them for any future gardening needs. They show up when they’re supposed to, and finish projects on time and within the budget. Their crew is hardworking, polite and very tidy. I highly recommend this company if you want a professional garden that only looks better with time and will surely increase your property value.

We had our patio done years ago by another company and we wanted to change things up a little bit. We used Wave Outdoors for re-designing our patio and landscaping into a larger space with more utility. Brian was professional, responsive and was able to help us put to paper exactly what we had in mind. He was able to design a fresh/modern look, while also staying within our budget; which was very important to us.

Wave never disappoints. They do a thorough job every time. Highly recommend Wave for all your landscaping needs.

Brian and his team were great to work with. They transformed our backyard into a magazine worthy space and exceeded our expectations. From design concept to follow through, they were utmost professionals. Highly recommend!

We keep coming back to Brian at Wave Outdoors for our landscape projects because _he delivers_! We tried other companies before Wave Outdoors, but have not found a more reasonable price for the _level of service_ and quality of work. We've had Wave Outdoors fix our grading/drainage issues, install curved paths with red flagstone, replace our front lawn with new sod, plant flower beds in our front and back yards, design and install an irrigation system to water our lawn and the beds, and design and install a multi-zone landscape lighting system throughout our property. Each project has dramatically changed our outdoor space for the better. We noticed right away that Brian excels at listening. We’ve gone to him at various times with different sized budgets, and he’s helped us prioritize work and maximize those dollars. He has always worked with us! He’s helpful in the design/visualization stage, and he makes sure to communicate throughout the process, from concept to completion. His crews have been responsible and respectful, without exception. Brian keeps his crews organized, makes sure expectations are clear, he checks in, and if there’s any issue whatsoever, he makes sure it’s fixed. We've recommended Brian to our friends and neighbors and have already put our name down to be first in line for Spring. Contact him now! Their schedule fills up quickly!!! Especially if you have a larger project in mind–all the top-quality landscape design companies tend to book up fast, and Wave Outdoors is no exception!

I worked directly with Brian to design and create a two tiered brick and stone patio with a seat bench. The end result was better than I had hoped and it has really enhanced the look and feel of my backyard. Thanks to Wave Outdoors Landscaping, when I have a future project, I know I can count on Brian.

Brian and his team at Wave transformed our blah cement slab small backyard to an amazing space that checked every box (decking, hardscape, lighting, landscaping, irrigation and more)! He and his team were dependable, knowledgeable, and so creative. We absolutely love our new space and use it almost year around (this is Chicago after all)!! We have worked with Wave Outdoors on additional projects since and would highly recommend them!!!

Brian was very helpful in creating an initial design and working with us to update items as more information became known. He and his team did a great job with construction of our new backyard, including an updated deck, patio, lighting, drainage, landscaping. I would work with them again!

As an interior designer we are always looking for quality and trustworthy contractors to bring our designs to life. We met with a few exterior/landscape contractors however Brian from Wave Outdoors outshined them all. From initial design concepts to material selections to construction and implementation.... we were blown away by the experienced crew, problem solving abilities and overall construction and project management of this team. Our client is extremely satisfied with their new backyard oasis and have been enjoying their newly completed outdoor space all summer long. We highly recommend Wave Outdoors and have continued to use them on all of our exterior landscaping projects.

We had work done to help with drainage in our yard, and had a patio put in. Brian was great to work with. He was very organized and knowledgeable, offered us several options for our project, and always showed up when he said he would. He team was fantastic! They were very hard workers...meticulous in the job they did, friendly, courteous, and they cleaned up the job site at the end of each work day. They were a pleasure to work with!

My wife and I built a new house in 2019 and worked with Brian and the Wave Landscape crew to manage our landscape design for the summer of 2020. The construction project was bigger and more complicated than we originally planned. This was because we were also putting in a pool and adjusting some grading on the property. The pool company installed the pool while Wave installed the pool deck, paver patio, retaining wall, grading and garden. The complexity of the project became evident as we tried to manage the pool install, pool patio and other landscaping. We also had some challenges from the village with regard to permits, drainage and changes we wanted to make. Throughout the whole process Brian was accessible and communicated what was going on. He responded to phone calls quickly and we had numerous on-site meetings to review plans and discuss any issues. Brian would call or text back on the weekend and be available to answer our numerous questions. Brian also had resources for unexpected aspects of the project including plumbing and pool coping. Brian was flexible in making several last minute changes that enhanced the quality of the project. In summary, I feel that all projects will have challenges, but if you receive good communication and trust the people you are working with, it will be a good experience. I would happily work with Brian again and highly recommend him to people looking to complete a landscape project, large or small.

We had a wonderful experience working with Brian and the Wave crew for our backyard renovation. We wanted a complete gut out of our existing yard so we could start from scratch. Brian started by providing us with a design and worked with us to make sure the yard would be functional, fit our budget and looked beautiful. The end result turned out better than we imagined and we have a completely transformed space. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for someone honest, creative, and does the job right!
