What homeowners say
I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Wave Outdoors. I didn’t have a specific vision for my backyard, but I knew how I wanted it to feel. Paul (the designer) really listened and brought that feeling to life with
a creative, beautiful design that’s also low maintenance—a must for me! The team was professional, efficient, and communicative throughout, and their follow-up program provides continued support after the project is finished. Now my kids and I are out there every evening, enjoying the patio, the plants, and a fire together. They created a space we truly love spending time in.

Knowing your family is enjoying the backyard together means a great deal. We're glad Paul captured the feeling you wanted in a landscape design that's easy to care for. Thank you for trusting Wave with your outdoor living space.
We have been working closely with Mary DiCarlo on a phased large landscaping project and have been very happy with the work so far. She planned and executed on a wonderful re-do of our patio and fire pit areas including
selection of planters which look great. Mary also planted fabulous seasonal fall displays which are gorgeous.

It's lovely to hear you're enjoying the updated patio, fire pit area and fall displays. We're glad Mary's landscape design is bringing the different parts of the project together. Thank you for sharing your experience and for your continued trust.
We could not be happier with the total transformation of our front and backyard by Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design! From initial design concepts to final execution, working with their team was an absolute
pleasure.
Mary, our designer, brought incredible creativity and vision to the project, perfectly capturing what we wanted while suggesting thoughtful, beautiful ideas. Kevin, our project manager, kept everything organized, transparent, and seamlessly managed, ensuring we were always kept in the loop. Dan, our foreman, and his team were efficient, hardworking, and displayed exceptional craftsmanship with phenomenal attention to detail.
Throughout the entire process, their communication was top-tier—always responsive, timely, and clear. It's clear the entire team at Wave genuinely has a passion for what they do, and their dedication shows in every corner of our new outdoor space. If you are looking for a trustworthy, talented, and detail-oriented landscape design company, we highly recommend Wave Outdoors!

We appreciate the time you took to recognize Mary, Kevin, Dan and the team. Clear communication matters throughout landscape design and installation, so we're glad you felt well informed. Hearing that you're happy with both the front and backyard means a great deal.
We couldn’t be happier with our new front entry and landscaping! Waves Outdoor did a beautiful job transforming our old, worn-out front into a space we truly love. They addressed every concern we had and came up with
thoughtful solutions throughout the project.
We’ve had so many neighbors stop to compliment the finished result, which says it all! We’d absolutely recommend Waves Outdoor and would definitely work with them again. If you can, ask to work with Mary—she was fantastic from start to finish!

The compliments from your neighbors are wonderful to hear. We're glad you're enjoying the new front entry and landscaping, and that Mary helped address your concerns along the way. Thank you for recommending Wave.
We had a wonderful experience with Wave! The entire design team did an amazing job creating a beautiful patio space and the install went smoothly. They answered all of my questions throughout the process and were super
helpful and responsive. We will definitely work with them again!

Thank you for the kind feedback. We're pleased your patio design and installation went smoothly and that the team was there to answer your questions. We would welcome the chance to work with you again.
I definitely chose the right company for my project. Jenny, Lupe, Dan and staff just put in a rather large garden for me, including a beautiful fountain. I love it! Jenny went above and beyond and stayed late on
several days to ensure everything was done to specification. She helped place the plants and move them when it was needed. She did a fantastic job of planning the garden. It's already so pretty. Lupe managed his staff to build a beautiful fountain. I'm so proud of it now. The one I had before was just to "make do". Aside from all that, everyone worked so well together and were happy. It appears the staff is treated well and with respect and it shows. I appreciate that.

Your comments about the team's care and cooperation mean a lot. We're delighted you love the new fountain and garden design, including the attention given to placing each plant. Thank you for recognizing Jenny, Lupe, Dan and the crew.
We love the work we've had done by Wave Outdoors! Last summer we had new stairs installed to replace an old deck, as well as several other projects. We enjoyed working with Wave so much that we did another project this
summer where they installed an area for a fire pit - it turned out great and the work was done so quickly! I'm sure we'll end up using Wave Outdoor again for our never-ending yard projects. We worked with Jenny and she was absolutely wonderful! She's extremely knowledgeable and responds to messages quickly. If there were any questions that need clarifying, she was always willing to hop on a quick call. You really couldn't ask to work with anyone better!!

It's great to hear you're enjoying the new fire pit area. We're glad Jenny's responsiveness and willingness to talk through questions helped make the experience a positive one. Thank you for returning to Wave for another outdoor living project.
I interviewed a few different firms for my project, but the upfront experience with Kevin was second to none. She spent real time understanding my specific needs, helping me articulate my vision, and taking meticulous
notes on my exact taste. After that initial introduction, there was zero question about whether I wanted to work with Wave. From there, I worked with Mary as the main designer, and she has gone completely above and beyond. I brought an extensive, highly specific wishlist of perennials to the table, and Mary managed our feedback perfectly across tracking spreadsheets, verifying regional availability to ensure continuous interest from spring through fall. When unexpected site adjustments popped up, Mary didn't skip a beat. She immediately reshaped the garden beds, re-routed the gravel pathways, and adjusted the structural focal points flawlessly. What we ended up with is a complex, beautiful custom layout built into a realistic three-phase plan that hits my timeline and budget.
I interviewed several landscaping firms for a multi-phase master plan for my property, and the level of care and time Kevin paid upfront completely blew me away. She took meticulous notes and truly listened to my
vision, making Wave the obvious choice. From there, Mary took over as the lead designer and has gone completely above and beyond. I came to the project with a highly specific wishlist of perennials, and instead of pushing a standard template, Mary fully embraced it. She tracked our feedback seamlessly and artfully layered the material for multi-season interest. Even when we hit unexpected real-world adjustment Mary and the team pivoted without missing a beat. The final design is a realistic, beautiful three-phase plan that has a flexible budget and the ability to evolve. Their top-notch design expertise is evident, but where things really shine is in their ability to work with you paint a big picture and align the small details to deliver a magnificent design. If you want a deeply collaborative, detail-oriented team, this is absolutely the place to work with!

Thank you for describing the planning process in such detail. We're pleased Kevin and Mary helped turn your perennial wishlist and longer-term ideas into a landscape master plan that can develop in stages. We valued the opportunity to shape the garden design around your vision.
We recently hired Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design for some work on our yard, and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. The team was easy to work with, showed up on time, and kept things pretty smooth from
start to finish. They had some great ideas that made the space look way better than we originally planned.
Pricing felt fair for the quality of work, and they didn’t try to upsell anything unnecessary. Overall, solid experience and I’d definitely recommend them if you’re looking to improve your outdoor space.
I've had the privilege to work with Mary, Brian and the team at Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design for 3+ years. Their attention to details and great communication about anything you may have questions on or concerns
about are always addressed and resolved. They are very easy to work with and would highly recommend them to any homeowner or business in the area. Their experience with hard work effort make it an easy choice to work with them exclusively.

Wave Outdoors Landscape and Design did a fantastic job designing and installing the landscape for our backyard berm. From our initial meeting with Kevin to our meetings with Mary who did the final design everything went
very smoothly and professionally. Mary not only developed a two-dimensional plan of the design but also developed a 3-D walk thru video of the design so we could get a good feel for what it would look like. Mary was very patient making whatever changes we suggested either due to personal preference or budget issues. The installation team was great and hard working. They showed up when scheduled and on time. I'm still amazed at how they were able to move into place all the outcropping stone they did without damaging my back and side yard. Matt the project manager managed the job well and Mary showed up every day to help oversee the installation and make sure everything was installed as planned. I found them to be honest in all our dealings and very professional. I highly recommend Wave Outdoors Landscape and Design.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this detailed review and for trusting Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design with your backyard berm project. It means a lot to hear that everything felt smooth and professional from the first meeting with Kevin through the design process with Mary. She’ll be especially happy to know the 2D plan and 3D walk-through helped you really see the space before any soil was moved, and that the revisions around preferences and budget felt easy and collaborative.
We’ll also pass your kind words on to the installation crew – they take a lot of pride in their workmanship, timing, and site protection, so hearing that they were able to carefully place all that outcropping stone without disturbing your back and side yard is huge.
Thank you again for the opportunity and the thoughtful feedback. We hope you enjoy your new landscape for many years to come, and if you ever have another project in mind, we’d be honored to work with you again.
We are beyond happy with our outdoor renovation. Wave did an incredible job with the design from start to finish. We put in a large patio with a small kitchen/bar and redid all of our landscaping. The entire team was
easy to work with - always quick to respond to any questions. Definitely recommend!
We chose Wave Outdoors after meeting with 2 other Landscape + Design companies. We felt Wave listened and understood what we were hoping to accomplish and they were able to translate that into an amazing design. They
were great partners and delivered something that well exceeded our expectations. We appreciated their flexibility, hands on approach during the construction phase, and attention to detail at every step. We completed phase 1 and can't wait to begin phase 2.
We highly recommend Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design.
The Wave team was great to work with and was always willing to be flexible with our requests and changes as the project progressed. We would definitely work with them again on any future projects.

Working with Mary DiCarlo and the team at Wave Outdoor Landscape and Design was a fantastic experience. Mary was responsive, creative, and truly listened to our vision. The entire process was smooth from start to
finish, and the final result exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality landscape design!
Working with Wave was transformative! They took an overly paved patio and driveway and helped us convert it to a green oasis. The design process was collaborative and we felt like our input was not only heard but
appreciated. The end result- which was delivered on time and smoothly - has not only uplifted us, but the whole neighborhood.
Thank you to Ashley and the whole team who made our dreams a reality.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Turning your paved space into a green, livable oasis was truly a joy for our team. We're thrilled the landscape design process felt collaborative and that the finished project uplifted not just your home, but the neighborhood too. Ashley and the whole crew loved being part of something so meaningful. We're so glad it all came together smoothly!
We live in Palatine, and we wanted to have landscaping done to create some more privacy in our backyard. We researched ideas online and came across some impressive pictures on the Wave Outdoors Landscape website. We
reached out to them. From that point on, we have been so happy with the whole process and most of all, the final result is beautiful. Ashley designed a plan that gave us the privacy we were looking for, and it will even get better as the things grow. We were impressed with the whole process. The design was great, the installation was smooth, the project manager, Matt, and designer, Ashley, were both on site to ensure everything was done correctly. The communication throughout the project was amazing. They were so knowledgeable and our questions were answered so promptly! They deserve a solid 5 Stars!
“Wave Outdoors transformed our patio, driveway, and landscaping, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Our house looks absolutely fabulous. Mary and Brian were a pleasure to work with—professional, attentive, and

I recently had the pleasure of working with Wave Outdoors to reimagine my backyard, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. The lead designer, Mary, was instrumental in bringing our vision to life. Here are
some key points that made the experience exceptional:
Exceptional Communication: From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, Mary's communication was clear, consistent, and responsive. She kept us informed at every stage of the process, making sure we were always on the same page.
Design Expertise: Mary's design skills are top-notch. She crafted a stunning transformation that perfectly complemented our needs and preferences. The new prairies-style landscaping is beautifully integrated with the natural surroundings, giving our backyard a seamless and organic feel.
Project Management: Staying on time and on budget was a significant concern for us, and Mary expertly managed both aspects. The project was completed within our desired timeframe and without any unexpected costs, adhering to our $150,000 budget.
Transformative Elements: Our backyard now features two new pavilions around the pool: one for a kitchen and another for lounging. These additions have significantly enhanced our outdoor living space, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Overall, my experience with Wave Outdoors and Mary has been nothing short of outstanding. If you're looking for a reliable, talented, and professional landscaping company, I highly recommend Wave Outdoors. They have genuinely transformed our backyard into a beautiful oasis that we will enjoy for years to come.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled that Mary and our team could bring your vision to life with prairie-style landscaping that blends beautifully with the natural surroundings. The addition of the poolside pavilions, including an outdoor kitchen and a lounging area, perfectly complements the hardscape and your swimming pool. It’s great to know that our landscape contractors delivered a smooth process, staying on schedule and within budget. Thank you for trusting Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design for your backyard transformation, and we hope you enjoy your enhanced outdoor living space for many years to come!
We used Wave to redo our front and back yard landscapes. Wave was the best. Every person we dealt with was a pleasure to work with from the owner, and the designer to the contractors to every one of the workmen. It was
a big big job and everything went smoothly. We took down a deck and gazebo and replaced them with a beautiful stone patio and portico. We replanted trees and planted flowers. Theyy fixed our water issues by putting in a dry creek bed that was both functional and beautiful. What turned out was magical. Better than what we could have imagined.
I contacted Wave to help update my garden for my Schaumburg residence and, after consultation, Brian was my primary contact. Loved working with him - the communication and responsiveness were on point. The install team
was fantastic and they were even able to return visit pretty quickly when I wanted to add more to the yard! I would highly recommend Wave for anyone who needs garden design, landscape lighting, or a professional landscape architect.
A great experience! I had a condo patio tiled and a new railing installed. The final product is beautiful and people were easy to work with. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you love your new patio and railing. It was a pleasure working with you, and we’re here if you need anything else. We appreciate your recommendation!
I reached out to Wave because my backyard desperately needed a redo and I wanted to put privacy plantings in. I worked with Mary to completely scrub the existing yard and remake it, including removing a large failing
tree and then adding new sod, all new flowers and shrubs, a couple trees and privacy trees along the fence lines. Mary took into account my wishes for different focal areas of the yard- seating, bird feeding, bird bath, cut flower garden, and had the sweet idea to add an arbor to the previous dead space behind my garage. I love the variety of plants she selected. She also went above and beyond in the design phase, showing me some more advanced designs so that I had options. The different crews for the tree removal and install were both so friendly, fast, and skilled. Mary's communication was SO GOOD. She always let me know what was going on and when to expect the next step. I'm looking forward to seeing my garden mature and hopefully another project- the front yard!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're thrilled to hear you're happy with the service and how Brian brought your outdoor project to life.
We found Wave Outdoors while searching online for a company that did it all.We made an appointment and Brian came to our house.We laid out our dreams of a 3 seasons room, attached porch, exterior lighting, lush
landscapes and buried sump pump hoses.After a little time he came back with pricing.Our dreams were WAY too big for our budget, but it was such a helpful step in our education of yard renovations.Brian was great in helping us brainstorm ways to get the general functionality of what we wanted in a way that met our budget better.He provided plans that were very detailed and included all the information about our home and yard and what work was projected as well as the materials.He also was able to advise in financing.We decided on a plan that we would do over two phases, one in mid summer 2023 and the second spring 2024. Once ground broke we gleefully watched Lupe and his crew transform our yard every day.The crew is incredibly hardworking and kind.In the first phase they built a deck, a paver patio, and steppers, built our prefab gazebo, ran electricity to the gazebo, and buried our sump pump.Picking materials was a little frustrating but we got there.Thanks to all the home shows I was expecting samples to be pulled and a meeting where we saw everything laid out and mixed and matched until we had our perfect selection.Instead we went to locations Brian suggested to look at their walls of materials and also ordered our own samples.I can picture in my head how things will come together, but my husband has a harder time doing that, so this process was not ideal for us.However it did work out, and Brian was patient and great at answering our questions.Once phase 1 was done we did a walkthrough addressing anything we had questions about or issues with.Everything was either fixed or slated for phase 2. Communication during the winter was a little slow,but in fairness we were excited to pay our deposit to ensure we were first to break ground.Once the ball got rolling we found out that the grading of our yard was a bit more steep than we thought and the original patio plans were going to have to change.I was very unhappy about the needs but understood that it was what was necessary to create a safe and sturdy patio.Brian was great at listening to my concerns and being open to all our ideas on how to adjust the plan while still keeping it to code.He was able to rework some things to make it work.The cost also ballooned due to this change but again Brian was wonderful in working with us to make adjustments to get us back to our budget. This phase we got a second paver patio, exterior lighting that includes path lights, spotlights, and decorative lights. They also installed large posts around the patio, installed a new mailbox, and beautiful landscaping that started with some large shrub removal. Lupe and his crew got this done so quickly! Just as we’d hoped we are set up to enjoy the entire summer in our new yard.We recommend Wave Outdoors so fully.
Last summer (2023) Wave built for us 2 new porches, 2 walkways, a patio, pergola, and arbor, landscaped both our front and back yards, added lighting, and replaced our scraggly lawns with new sod. Everything turned out
great. Mary worked with us to design every element: the color schemes and materials for the porches, the walkways, and the patio and landscaping. She listened to what we wanted and came up with porches, patio and walkways that look contemporary, with colors that look good with the house. The front porch is concrete with beautiful coordinated stone facades and steps, and a paver walkway that goes to the public sidewalk. Mary put a lot of thought into finding shades of color that look great together and with our house. They also built a roof for the porch; it’s nice to be able to open an umbrella BEFORE we get wet. The back porch is composite and is much easier to maintain than the old wood porch it replaced. They also suggested putting a door on the side of the stairs so now we have protected storage underneath. (We never thought of that!) The decks on both porches are much larger than what we had before, when only one person could stand there to open the door. The paver patio and back walkway are wonderful. The walkway covers the area where our dogs had churned it to mud, and now we don’t have to wipe their feet every time they come in. The patio is just awesome. We didn’t have one before, and sitting outside is so relaxing. Especially since we now have lovely bushes and flowers to look at! We wanted landscaping that would attract pollinators, use as many native plants as possible, and create space and food for birds and small animals; Mary worked hard to create a design that integrated a lot of color for spring, summer, and fall, and in winter snow on the bushes and dried seed heads adds interest. She also designed a small garden for pollinators on the side of our house, and was even able to get milkweed for monarch butterflies. Everyone was great to work with; there were several teams: landscaping, hardscaping, electrical, and plumbing, and they all worked hard to get each project done. Brian came to check on progress frequently and often came up with suggestions and small changes that smoothed out issues that we had not thought of. He also spent a lot of time working with village inspectors and the permit office. I would recommend Wave to anyone who wants beautiful, quality work and attention to detail. The photographs I’m including speak for themselves.

Thank you for your incredibly detailed and positive feedback! We are thrilled to hear how much you are enjoying your new porches, walkways, patio, pergola, arbor, landscaping, and landscape lighting. It's wonderful to know that Mary’s meticulous design process, from selecting the color schemes and materials to integrating the landscaping elements, has met your expectations. We're especially pleased that you appreciate the contemporary look of the porches and walkways, and the thoughtful additions like the porch roof and side door storage have made a difference.
The transformation of your front and back yards, including the new sod, lighting, and pollinator-friendly garden, truly showcases the hard work and dedication of our landscaping and hardscaping teams. We're glad that the paver patio and walkway have enhanced your outdoor living space, making it more enjoyable and easier to maintain. It's great to hear that the composite back porch and larger deck areas are more functional and convenient for you.
We also appreciate your recognition of Brian’s efforts in ensuring smooth progress and compliance with village inspectors and permits.

I recently worked with Wave Outdoors on a project which included a new hardscape patio, sidewalk, front and back stoop, and drainage work. They were also able to handle some sprinkler head rerouting that we
needed.
Wave provided us with 2D/3D designs and Brian gave us a lot of different options and suggestions on our design. Despite being on the more expensive side, the quality and satisfaction were well worth it and the end result exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them.

I could not be more pleased with the excellent landscaping done by WAVE Outdoors. The project included paver walkways, decorative lighting, and a wide variety of shrubs and perennials. Mary DiCarlo did a phenomenal
job planning, designing, and coordinating every aspect of the work. I was given options for materials and plantings at the start of each phase of the project. Mary’s creative ideas and attention to detail translated into a beautiful outcome.
This is the second landscaping job that WAVE has done for me, and the results were outstanding both times.
I very highly recommend WAVE for landscaping!

I had two opportunities to work with Wave. The first involved developing a landscape design for a berm area in our development. Brian was very responsive and carefully listened to what we wanted for the area and our
desire to use plants requiring limited care. We also wanted color in the spring, summer and fall. We were presented a beautiful plan and the installation was seamless. The residents are very pleased and the area is a great enhancement to our entrance. I recently approached Wave to help with a design for the front of our Florida home. Mary was so excited for the opportunity and once again collaborated and developed a design that is second to none. The colors, plants used and planned placement are outstanding. We are moving ahead with installation and the plan provided makes needed approval very easy. Overall, I can not say enough about the professionalism and competence of everyone on the Wave staff. Plus, they all are so nice. A great experience!

Thank you for choosing us and for your trust in bringing these projects to life. We look forward to continuing our partnership and making more landscaping dreams come true!
Mary did a great job with our landscape project. She made good suggestions on the type of plants that would or would not grow in areas where I had a hard time growing plants in previous years. She developed a design
and used my input to make sure the design was what I wanted. I can't wait until Spring to enjoy all the new plants.

I contacted Wave Outdoors because our backyard was virtually untouched in the years since we moved in and needed a fresh start and update. We had several different zone projects around our home which included the
removal of an old patio and installation of a new paver patio, as well as the transformation of a side yard. Wave Outdoors worked within the existing landscape to add and adjust plants to keep within a budget. Mary was able to separate and itemize each job so my husband and I could decide what to prioritize. Throughout the process, Mary was communicative, detailed and very responsive. I could not have asked for a better partner for this project!
We worked with Mary from Wave Outdoors for our landscaping project. She was thorough and thoughtful in her plan and consistent in communication. Mary earned trust by showing options that would have longevity- native
plants, placing plants in shade vs non-shade, and watering solutions. Ultimately, we’re so happy with the warmth the design has brought our home, and we look forward to seeing it continue to grow.

Very professional landscape design and installation for my backyard. Needed some privacy and Mary delivered. She’s actually completed the design and installation of our entire backyard over the past 10 years. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Mary again.

Thank you for your continued trust in Mary and our landscape design and installation services over the past decade. We're delighted to have met your backyard landscaping privacy needs and appreciate your kind words. Your satisfaction is our greatest reward, and we look forward to serving you in the future.
Our backyard was in dire need of a makeover and we were lucky enough to work with Brian at Wave Landscape to get this done. He handled the demo, design, installation, project management, and the time-consuming permit
process. I sat back and waited for the project to be completed while every detail was handled by Brian and his team. Not only was the process easy, but he was able to work with my budget and remain patient as I came up with additional "wants" as the project progressed.
Update: A year later the landscape is thriving with very little maintenance by me. I'm also impressed by the follow up from Brian to check in months later to make sure I'm still happy with the finished product. Customer Service is A++++.
Contact Brian from Wave, you won't be disappointed.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Wave Outdoors. From start to finish Brian was accommodating, attentive, professional, communicative and patient. The design process was fun and Brian worked and reworked a
design plan that met our needs/wants and fit our budget.
Brian at Wave Outdoors was great to work with. He designed and installed a patio, walkway, pergola and created a landscape design for us to DYI after their work was completed. Professional, attentive, and skilled. We could be happier with the end result.

Wow!!! We had a wonderful experience with Wave Outdoors. Wave Outdoors is located in Mount Prospect which was appealing to me to support local businesses.
Brian worked with us from start of finish. He came and walked
our property in the beginning and really listened to our ideas and also incorporated his own landscape design expertise. He walked us through his beautiful design and made recommendations for trees, shrubs, and plants that would be successful in our zone.
Our curb appeal went up 1000%. While I have been out watering many people have stopped and commented on how beautiful everything looks. Some have even asked if they could snap a picture or two. 😎
The crews that came in and took all of the old landscaping out, were here each day on time and left the area neat and clean when they were finished for the day.
THANK YOU Wave Outdoors and Brian Dreher for helping to guide us with this project. It truly has been a pleasure working with Wave Outdoors. I would highly recommend Wave Outdoors for any landscaping design, installations, or any other outdoor needs you may have.
Sincerely,
Colleen and Michael Moreno

Thank you for entrusting Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design, your local landscaping company in Mount Prospect, with your outdoor construction and design needs. We're elated that Brian and our team of contractors could elevate your landscape design, incorporating tree care and native plants that thrive in our zone.
It's heartwarming to know that our efforts have significantly increased your property's curb appeal and garnered admiration from passersby. Your feedback on our garden clean-up, make-over and the professionalism of our crews is deeply appreciated. We're always here for any future tree care, garden, or other landscaping needs you might have.
We hired Brian from Wave Outdoors after a lengthy search for a landscape designer/contractor to reimagine our small backyard space. Brian met with us, took notes, asked questions and came back with an amazing design
that eventually fit our (champagne taste, beer budget). He was patient, kind and professional even with all of our indecisiveness. Nothing is perfect especially when it comes to construction but Brian was so easy to talk to and eager to make everything right when something didn't meet our expectations. The trades men are skilled at their craft, clean, and detail oriented. We couldn't be more happier with the results and over all experience.
My husband and I decided last year that we wanted to replace all the hedges around our property. They were 50 years old, quite overgrown and leggy. We wanted a brand new look with lots of color. We knew it would be a
huge undertaking and would need the right landscaping company for the job. After discussing our plans unsuccessfully with several landscaping contractors, we came upon Brian at WAVE OUTDOOR LANDSCAPING DESIGN. He seemed truly interested in satisfying our needs. He was very knowledgeable and was a great help to me in choosing the right plants for our different landscape locations. My plans changed a lot in the months before we began but with Brians help, we came up with a workable design. Everything we choose was a perfect fit for our garden landscape.
Our plants were ordered and work began in May 2023. Brians crew came and removed all the old hedge rows, digging them up by hand. It was a backbreaking job. They prepared the ground, planted everything, mulched all the beds and thoroughly watered.They did a magnificent job and we couldn’t be more pleased. When they were done, they cleaned up beautifully. Start to finish, it was a an amazing project. The dedication of Brian and his staff brought our landscape design to successful completion So thank you very much Brian to you and your crew. We love the results and look forward to lots off color and beautiful blooms. Thanks again to Wave Outdoor Landscaping Design for making this possible.
Our back yard garden bed (partly in sun, partly in shade), along the rear property line, was in need of some landscaping. Over the nearly 40+ years we have lived here, we had randomly planted several lilac bushes, a
few hosta plants, several patches of narcissus, some pachysandra, and a small number of ferns, but there was no unifying design. Everything we had planted competed with weeds and unwanted brush that had sprouted up around them. We had always wanted to look out our kitchen window and see a beautifully planned display of perennials, shrubs, and trees and finally decided to do something about it. We found Wave Outdoors and started working with designer Mary DiCarlo last fall, after we cleared much of the bed of unwanted foliage and installed a backyard fence to allow our newly adopted rescue dog to run free. We were looking to get a design created and the landscaping installed early this spring. Over the fall and winter months, Mary worked with us via several on-site visits, email exchanges, and Zoom sessions to finalize a design. Mary was a careful listener and tried to incorporate our wishes from the start, while making several small adjustments to the design several times at our request. Just a few days before the installation, when a particular specimen tree she had planned for us was in short supply, Mary made several weekend visits to local garden centers to find us the perfect tree. This was above and beyond the call of duty! The installation work was planned for two days in late April, but was completed by the Wave Outdoors 3-man crew, led by Rob, in a single day. Good timing, because the next day it rained almost all day, giving the plantings a good drink. The crew worked hard all day, doing additional unplanned tasks, such as trimming overhanging branches to make room for newly-planted (but sure to grow tall eventually) spruce trees, and also repairing some lawn spots from our dog. They also cleaned up better than any crew who has ever worked on our property. We are so happy with the finished result already, but knowing that perennials operate in a “sleep, creep, leap” fashion in the three years after planting, we expect the bed to look fantastic over the next 2-3 years as the plantings mature. The plantings were designed to be a mixture of tall, medium, and short heights, of a variety of textures and foliage color, with bloom colors expected in at different times in spring, summer, and fall. The evergreen plantings will remain blue-green throughout the year. We highly recommend Wave Outdoors and designer Mary DiCarlo for your landscaping needs (they do hardscaping also)! The entire process was well-documented with excellent communication from start to finish. Any small issues found after installation were taken care of very quickly. Initial and final payments were easy using Zelle, but Wave Outdoors also accepts personal checks and credit cards. Looking forward to warmer weather when we can be outside on our patio enjoying our beautiful new landscape!

We worked with Brian on landscaping and hardscaping for our Lincoln Park townhome, and they did such an amazing job that two of our neighbors asked for his contact information and at least one of them moved forward with
Wave Outdoors too!
Our 100% satisfaction started with consultation on design for a paver patio replacement that includes a small retaining wall and various shrubs/ground cover in several garden beds in the front and side of our home. Brian pointed us to a nearby distributor to choose among Unilock pavers then coordinated three complementary products for the patio itself, the wall, and the wall topper. We are busy professionals and wanted low maintenance landscaping, and Brian's knowledge of good plants for our climate and lifestyle was spot-on.
After an informative design phase (with two in-person appointments that Brian kept reliably and that also included some hand-holding with our HOA to secure necessary approvals), the work crew arrived promptly on the appointed date and worked quickly to complete the entire job in only 3 or 4 days from demolition/removal of the old patio to installation of all hardscaping, plants, and ground cover. We immediately had the nicest patio of anyone in our complex of 48 units, and the high quality generated a lot of neighborhood "buzz" given how visible Brian and his crew's work is for everyone in the complex.
Our only regret is that we didn't go with the sprinkler system that Brian proposed at a reasonable incremental cost that would have saved many, many hours of watering during summer months. We would wholeheartedly recommend Wave Outdoors for any job large or small!

Thank you for sharing your experience with Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design. We're glad Brian could assist you in the landscape design process for your Lincoln Park townhome. Navigating choices like Unilock pavers and understanding the needs of a space, be it for low maintenance or specific aesthetic goals, is part of our commitment. We appreciate your patience during the design phase, especially with the coordination involving the Home Owner Association.

We're here to support any future endeavors, ensuring they align with your vision.
We had a fabulous experience with Wave. I highly recommend Wave for any landscape project. Mary was outstanding! She put together a beautiful and creative plan for our rock garden area, tastefully rearranging
existing items to accommodate annual planting areas and an outdoor grill.
Mary was extremely responsive and worked on every detail during the entire process. She was always ready to answer questions and come up with suggestions.
I am amazed at how the area looks with the new lighting and slabs. I could mot be more pleased!

was kind and efficient, too! We are thrilled with the added curb appeal and can’t wait for the second phase of our project with Wave Outdoors.
Mary was just wonderful. I gave her my budget and she came up with a beautiful design. I wanted something blooming at different times of the year and Mary’s design did just that. My home now looks complete. I can not
wait till next spring when she can work on a design for my back yard. Thank You Again

Thank you again for your loyalty and we are looking forward to finishing strong this spring. Enjoy your outdoor space!
We were put in touch with Wave Outdoors through online landscape design company, Yardzen. First let me start by saying, they have been wonderful to work with, I highly recommend them, and I plan to continue using them
on future projects.
Our home is new contruction, so prior to working with Wave Outdoors we had no landscaping in either our front or back yard. We started with the front yard (and plan to hire them for the backyard in the next 1-2 years). Mary at Wave Outdoors was our point of contact through the whole process. She reviewed our design created by Yardzen, and was able to suggest alterations to better accommodate lighting and temperature zones where we live. Mary was a pleasure to work with, very thoughtful and very accommodating. She was able to help us narrow down several hardscape selections to exactly what we wanted. Through the installation process she checked to make sure everything looked as we wanted it, and was very proactive with any replacement plants. Everything turned out amazing and as I noted at the start, we will continue to use Wave Outdoors for all our landscaping needs!

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.

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!

Chris, when you say "couldn't be happier" I think we are going to prove you wrong on the next project! We appreciate the feedback and I know the guys enjoyed working with you as well.
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.

Mary DiCarlo came to our rescue when we hosted our daughter’s wedding in our backyard. We had three weeks to plan the wedding and I am forever grateful Mary answered my email requesting help. After our first phone call,
I knew Mary understood our hopes for the yard and our short timeline. She excitedly took on the challenge of designing a backyard wedding venue and quickly developed a plan to enhance our yard, front, back and sides. Mary’s passion for outdoor design yielded a colorful collection of plants, shrubs, grasses, and tree species through a combination of annuals and perennials. The result was a stunning setting for an intimate wedding and a reincarnated yard we can enjoy year-round. Mary proved to be the perfect blend of professionalism, compassion, enthusiasm, and efficiency and oversaw the project to completion—all in time for an unforgettable wedding! Bride Approved!
Great planning, work was better than we expected when a snag in the plans became an obstacle. A change of course and we are so happy with the results.
I enjoyed working with Brian, the owner of Wave Outdoors, he has incredible landscape design ideas, great pricing, wonderful staff and they were on time and did a fabulous job.
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!

My husband and I hired Mary to design and install our landscaping. The whole process from our initial meeting to design ideas to revisions to final execution was seamless. The transformation to our outdoor space was
amazing! I highly recommend hiring Mary, she is a true professional!
I have nothing but positive things to say about Brian and Wave.
First, Brian is incredibly responsive and patient. It is clear that he values his customers. I sent over 10 texts while planning this project and Brian
responded to each one. He was also responsive over email and his PandaDoc system is a great way of seeing the project online so there can be no confusion. He is honest about pricing and outlines the many different options that the customer has. I never once felt like I was being up sold or pressured into adding more cost to the project. In fact, Brian recommended a lower cost option for me. A silly added bonus? If your dog gets out of the yard during the meeting, he'll help you wrangle her back home. Those small things matter.
Oh, yeah, the work was amazing. Lupe and his team were early, incredibly friendly, triple checked that we were all in the same page, and then did really detailed work though it was a blustery, 40° degree, cloudy day.
We couldn't be happier and plan on using Wave for all of our future landscape projects. In fact, I've already asked Brian to think about fall planting/hardscaping and 2020 spring planting.
