Amazing service. I called Wave Hill as my irrigation stopped working, and just over the phone the gentleman walked me through common trouble shooting and it ended up just being a valve turned off. What great service and care - even when it meant no payment. Will definitely call them for any future needs. read more

My irrigation system had multiple failure points and I was unable to figure it out on my own. Steve H of Wave Hill did an amazing job to fix all of the issues in a couple of hours. I was very impressed with his knowledge, speed and skill. I followed Steve around and he explained everything as he worked. Issues included stations not firing (i had cut the wire), kinked tubing, many leaks and improper emitters. He walked through the entire system (5 stations) and everything worked great when he finished the work. Highly recommend! read more

We had Steve over to inspect, repair, and explain our 12-valve home irrigation. He was super knowledgeable, experienced, skilled, efficient, fair, and down-to-earth. There were no suggestions to do more than necessary, and he read our needs exactly right. As a bonus, Steve made sure I understood what he had done, and was patient with my questions. His years of experience clearly showed. The improvements he made have us heading into this spring and summer with confidence about our system. What's not to like about what Steve did? I'd have no hesitation referring him to others. read more

Stephen is the best. Easy to communicate with, always on time, and a complete professional. Highly recommend.

Steve correctly identified and repaired an irrigation issue that two other individuals had been unable to figure out. I found him to be experienced, reasonable, and customer focused. I recommend him! read more

A landscaper friend referred us to Steve for help in repairing our drip irrigation system. We were very impressed by how knowledgeable and honest he was. Steve looked at the totality of our landscaping and gave us a lot of good advice on how to tweak our irrigation system, as well as doing a great job fixing the leaks. He was efficient, reasonably priced, and able to fix some difficult things in a simple (and less expensive) way. read more

Steve just completed setting up an irrigation system in our rose garden. This is the second project he has done for us. We are extremely pleased with the results.

They arrived on time, we're immediately helpful and quickly solved the problem. I would surely use them again.

Steve of Wave Hill Landscaping was a responsive, helpful and straightforward irrigation specialist who worked on our property. I contacted him through Yelp, and by the end of the same day had scheduled a visit for one weeks time. He showed up on time, evaluated our needs and then quickly got to work. I appreciate that Steve took a problem solving approach to look into the cause of running water on our drive. This was above and beyond the initial remit - but showed that he is thinking big picture about water conservation. I am very happy with the outcome, not only an updated and functioning drip system, but also a better understanding of some drainage issues on the property. read more

Steve Hanson of Wave Hill Landscaping came highly recommended to me as a local Fairfax irrigation specialist. He did a great job of listening carefully to our complicated irrigation needs; explaining his recommendations on watering; then installing a watering system in our yard. He was able to encompass a large area of plants in separate pots, several sections of plants/trees in the ground, and a long incline up to the street, all while avoiding native oaks. I appreciate how he returned my call by the next day, worked quickly & efficiently and was reasonably priced. He has also stopped by recently to reexplain and help me check the system before I turned it back on for spring watering. read more

Solved my problem in under an hour. Really nice, honest, good business owner. A great experience.

Steve and his team were great. All aspects of working with them on our front yard project were excel to - plant selection, design, communication, execution. Will for sure work with Wave Hill again for our next project! read more

I would recommend Steve (Wave HIll Landscaping and Irrigation) to anyone! We called Steve because of some problems with our existing irrigation that resulted in severe MMWD bills. Steve was very professional and personable in diagnosing the issues and preparing a plan of attack. He was incredibly responsive to our urgent irrigation needs and made sure that all of our questions were responded to. We discovered Steve after being given a quote from an alternative vendor who we later realized tried to over sell us on unnecessary work. Bottom line: Steve is a great guy, straight shooter, who knows his stuff. read more

I found Steve to be extremely knowledgeable in native California plants that actually thrive in my backyard, despite the fact that I am not very good with watering and upkeep in general. Steve's great to work with and very conscientious of the quality of his work. He also stayed within my budget. My backyard is beautiful! I would recommend Steve highly to anyone looking for landscaping particularly in the area of California plants and those that require little watering! read more

Steve Hanson was really good, quick, reliable and fairly priced. I personally really liked him. Nothing was a problem. He fixed my irrigation system really fast and was sweet as pie.

I cannot say enough good things about Wave Hill and what they do. Steve knows his stuff, and will respond quickly, providing first class service at a reasonable price. read more

We had Steve help us replace a bunch of irrigation valves and clean up the manifold boxes. He reviewed the situation, presented a reasonable bid price and was able to do the work right away. As the work progressed Steve ran into a few challenges along the way and went the extra mile to ensure everything was tip top. He was even willing to come back and tweak the system for us at no extra charge. Steve is trustworthy, hard working and knows his stuff. Recommended. read more

We hired Wave Hill based on a friends recommendation and glad we did. They spent a day removing Ivy and blackberry around the perimeter of our yard. They didn't just cut it out, they went through with pick-axes digging out the roots. It's been weeks and it is truly gone. I wish I'd hired them sooner! A few weeks later they planted some trees for us and cleaned up an area for some herbs I wanted to plant. Without asking they included irrigation to the trees (amazing!) and went above and beyond clearing the area for the herbs. I look forward to hiring them again and highly recommend Steve and Wave Hill. Steve was easy to work with and was in line with other quotes we received. read more

Steve transformed our rough back yard into a livable space. We engaged in a collaborative design process. He was able to create two quotes based on two different budget limits. The final cost was at the stated quote amount. We did a lawn install, garden beds, borders, custom vegetable raised beds, and a drip/sprinkler irrigation system. He and his workers were kind to my 4 year old son who insisted on being part of the work crew! Wave Hill is a quality outfit. read more

This is the only company we will use from now on. Very professional and knows the business. Steve arrived on time and and found the problem nHe had excellent recommendations for our irrigation moving forward. Thanks again Steve. read more

Stephen provided excellent customer service. He is very professional. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Steve updated a 20+ year old watering system. He immediately replaced the old control box, even though his schedule was booked out several months. The work has now been completed fully to our satisfaction. Steve has provided an excellent service, from his initial reply, through trouble shooting, contracting and completion of work. Cost and time frame were as proposed. He gave me options in terms of scope of the system and cost, including a fair assessment of the old system and even parts of the bed watering which we can later add or do ourselves. I appreciate his honesty and guidance. I will call Wave Hill again as needed. read more

We are very grateful to Steve and his crew for helping us realize our vision for our front and backyard gardens. Steve did a thorough check of our existing irrigation system and made the necessary changes, got everything working right. The second part of the project was putting down compost and a decorative rock mulch. But before we were ready to do that, Steve was extremely helpful while we took months to finish planting and choosing the best size and color rocks to use in each section. Steve has a great eye for design, he totally got what we were trying to do, and he waited patiently until we were ready to proceed, always giving his input when asked. The project has been finished for a few months now, and we love the result. I should add that we thought the cost of the project was fair and reasonable and worth every penny. I recommend Wave Hill without hesitation. read more

Steve was excellent! He fixed a couple of irrigation issues I had for a very reasonable price and also gave me some expert advice on improvements I could make on the garden drip work I had done. Great experience and I'll definitely use him again. read more

Stephen did a great job on two different houses for us. We installed an ET water system at our new house and the contractor who installed it did not know how to program it. In fact, my water usage went up after using a "smart" watering system.I tried tinkering with it a little bit, then tried to contact ET water. I didn't get a satisfactory response. I found Stephen on Yelp and concacted him. He was very responsive. He swung by, gave me an estimate, then returned in a few days and did everything he said he would. I now know how to adjust the system myself, but he showed me how to do it. It is also reassuring to know that I can call him if i have other issues. Separately, I found that the rain sensor at my other house was malfunctioning. I called him and he came by and resolved the issue the very next day. Stephen focuses on landscaping and irrigation systems and it shows. I recommend him. If something goes wrong, I will call him again. read more

We had irrigation problems, and after checking Yelp, I found that Steve, of Wave Hill Landscaping, had received lots of praise for his work. I called him and luckily he was able to come over the same day I called and solved our irrigation problems. He was courteous, personable and professional. I would highly recommend him and will certainly use him again for any futuure landscaping or irrigation upgrading we may want. I thought he was reasonably priced as well. read more

I highly recommend Wave Hill. Steve responded quickly to my call, addressed my irrigation concerns, was knowledgable, and extremely efficient with his time. My older, and very complicated system needed a tune-up, including a previously undiscovered leak (yikes). Steve also made time to drop by and check in when I had an additional question. During this time of drought especially, our irrigation systems need to be in good working order, and I feel so much better knowing I can call Steve. read more

So, I called and left a message for Steve about getting a quote to fix some leaky valves, do some maintenance and get our fairly small irrigation system back in top shape. He returned my call right away and made arrangements to come out. Something came up on his end and he called me well beforehand to make an appointment for the next day. Great communication and appreciated the heads up. When he got here, he got out, took a look at the system, explained his recommendations and gave me a price. The price was well below our landscaper's price to just fix a leaky valve, so I asked when he could get to it. He said right then. He finished the work in no time, explained what he'd done thoroughly and the work was top notch. In short, great communication, very pleasant and professional demeanor, high quality work and great prices. What more can you ask for? read more

Steve and his crew removed a 15 year old ivy forest, tore out an ancient stepping stone "yard" and sodded a small, amoeba shaped lawn, prepping the spaces around it for planting. We were on a roll so we upgraded our old and inefficient sprinkler system with high efficiency sprinklers and set up a modern, multi zone timed irrigation system to support the future plantings. He has also provided superb guidance on plant selection based on our specific soil conditions and we're looking forward to having him create a great native garden for us. I'll provide an update when that work is done. Steve has been reliable and a pleasure to work with throughout. He clearly knows his stuff and enjoys his work. read more

The plants in our yard were struggling. I suspected that the irrigation was not working properly . I called Steve, owner of Wave Hill Landscaping and Irrigation. He returned my call in less than 24 hours and agreed to come by on his way home to trouble shoot the problem. He walked me through programming our irrigation system, step by step. However, he discovered that the current watering times were way too short for the needs of the garden. He explained the benefits and timing of watering and adjusted the system to bring the garden back to life. Steve is personable, professional and knows what he is doing. Call him. You will be happy that you did. read more

Highly recommend Steve Hanson with Wave Hill Landscaping. My irrigation system had some issues, so I called Steve on a Sunday. Not only did he call me back the same day, but he came out to my house the next day. He diagnosed the problem, scheduled the follow up visit (same week) and fixed our issue as well as improved five of my sprinkler heads. If you're looking for an honest, hardworking irrigation expert who is responsive and knows his business, Steve is your guy. read more

Being new homeowners, we needed some help when a pipe in our irrigation system broke - Steve not only fixed the pipe but he solved the problem (too much water pressure going thru our pipes) by professionally installing three new AVB valves & an inline pressure reducer. His price was very reasonable and our backyard vegetation is much happier! Highly recommend! read more

After years of struggle with our irrigation system we finally found Wave Hill Landscaping and Irrigation. Steve Hanson is a true professional. His knowledge is impressive. Because we have a well, irrigation was always a problem. We needed a new system for years now but could not find the right company to trust with such a big job. (Irrigating 1 1/2 acres ). Steve completed the work in the time promised keeping with the budget he originally estimated. On a personal note, he was friendly and willing to answer the many, many questions I had. read more

Nice ideas but I've seen better execution! Weeds are coming back because the layer of mulch is too thin and there is no protection against them. The plan was that the ceanothus will cover everything and prevent the weeds from growing. Except the Ceanothus will take a while to cover everything (3 years?). In the meantime we have to remove the weeds Weekly... read more
