About ALT Landscaping
Eleven years learning the trade. Ten years and counting doing it under his own name.
ALT Landscaping LLC is an owner-operated landscaping and property maintenance company based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Owner Adolfo Luis Téllez spent eleven years with a major landscaping company before founding ALT, and still personally quotes and works every job across Milwaukee County and southeastern Wisconsin.
There is no office, no dispatcher and no rotating crew. The person who answers the phone is the person who walks your property, writes the estimate and does the work.

One conversation on a sidewalk
“A lady walking by asked me how much I charge to plant some plants around her house. I gave her the company’s number and she refused, and said: how about if you do the job?” Adolfo Luis Téllez, owner
Adolfo had been working for a large landscaping company for eleven years, learning the trade, running the work, looking after other people’s customers. That was the whole plan, until somebody walked past a job site and asked him a question.
He gave her the company’s number. She refused it and asked him instead whether he would do the job himself. He did, and it was the first work ALT Landscaping ever took on.
“That got me thinking about starting my own company. Ever since that day, I am thankful. That day changed my life. I love my job. I like looking at the flowers and watching the trees grow. I like to do this to show my kids to work hard, so that someday they earn their own money and go on their own journey.”
That is not a line somebody wrote for a website. It is the reason the person who answers your call is the person who will be standing in your yard.

A decade and more with a major landscaping company, learning the trade properly and looking after other people’s customers.
A question on the sidewalk
A homeowner walked past a job site, turned down the company’s number, and asked him to do the work himself.
ALT Landscaping LLC
That first job became a business, run under his own name with his own standards and his family alongside him.
