As a leading landscaping and design company in Mount Prospect, we are dedicated to transforming outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional environments that enhance your quality of life. Our team of skilled landscape contractors, experienced industry experts, and talented designers works closely with you to create personalized landscapes that reflect your unique style and meet your specific needs. We specialize in complete yard transformations using premium materials like Unilock pavers, Techo-Bloc hardscaping, and TimberTech decking throughout the northwest Chicago suburbs.
At the core of our Chicago area yard design and construction process is a dedication to understanding and prioritizing your goals, preferences, and aspirations. We take the time to listen attentively to your ideas, meticulously assess your property's distinct characteristics, and develop customized solutions that maximize your outdoor area's potential. Our experts guide you through each phase of the process, from the initial consultation to the final installation, ensuring that your outdoor renovation project surpasses your expectations.
Our wide range of landscaping and design services includes:
Landscape design and planning
Hardscaping (patios, walkways, retaining walls, etc.)
Planting and softscaping
Outdoor living spaces (kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas, etc.)
Water features (fountains, ponds, waterfalls)
Landscape lighting
Irrigation systems
Sustainable landscaping solutions
Your landscape transformation begins with advanced 3D modeling that eliminates guesswork and expensive surprises. Our design process at Wave Outdoors follows a proven five-phase approach that ensures your Chicago area property achieves its full potential while navigating Cook County regulations and Illinois weather challenges.
Illinois weather demands hardscape construction that withstands freeze-thaw cycles, clay soil movement, and dramatic temperature swings. Wave Outdoors exclusively uses materials engineered for Chicago-area conditions, with proper base preparation that prevents settling, heaving, and premature failure.
TimberTech AZEK and Trex Transcend decking eliminate annual maintenance while providing superior performance. TimberTech's capped polymer construction resists scratching, staining, and fading better than first-generation composites. Trex offers more color options and hidden fastener systems creating seamless surfaces.
Complete yard redesigns require orchestrating multiple trades, managing complex logistics, and maintaining design integrity throughout construction. Wave Outdoors serves as general contractor, coordinating excavation, utilities, hardscaping, carpentry, planting, and lighting into cohesive outdoor environments.
When you choose our Mount Prospect landscaping and design services, you benefit from:
Unrivaled expertise and experience in the landscaping industry

Our team understands northwest suburban challenges: clay soil requiring amended planting beds, freeze-thaw cycles demanding proper base preparation, village regulations varying by municipality, drainage issues from flat topography, and mature tree preservation during construction. This local knowledge prevents costly mistakes common with national franchises or inexperienced contractors.
