About Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design
Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design creates custom outdoor living spaces for homeowners across Chicago's northwest suburbs. Based in Mt. Prospect and serving 30+ communities from Arlington Heights to Lake Forest, we handle landscape design, deck construction, hardscape installation, and outdoor entertainment features from first consultation through final walkthrough.
What we build:
Decks and stairs, paver patios and walkways, outdoor kitchens and bars, fire pits and fireplaces, pergolas and pavilions, swimming pools, landscape lighting, retaining walls, and complete landscape installations. Projects range from $5,000 landscape refreshes to $200,000+ pool and outdoor living combinations.
How we work:
Every project starts with a design consultation. You'll see your backyard transformed in 3D renderings before construction begins. Owner and principal designer Brian Dreher manages construction methodology while senior designer Mary DiCarlo brings 18 years of design expertise and an unblemished record of client satisfaction. We secure permits, coordinate trades, and keep you informed throughout the build.
Why Chicago homeowners choose us:
We've earned Best of Houzz Service and Angi Super Service awards for 11-12 consecutive years. We're Techo-Pro and TimberTech certified, which means our crews train directly with material manufacturers. We understand Illinois' Zone 5b/6a climate challenges, from freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior materials to drainage issues that turn backyards into swamps each spring.
