Landscaping & Lawn Care in Brookfield, WI
Brookfield lawn care, landscaping, seasonal cleanups and snow removal, from an owner-operated company that is in the neighborhood most weeks.
The short answer
Brookfield properties are large, frequently wooded and long established, which means mature plantings that have grown past their intended size and deep leaf volume in autumn. ALT Landscaping usually edits these landscapes rather than adding to them. Cleanups, removal, design and lawn care. Free estimates.
What Brookfield yards are actually like
Brookfield properties are large, frequently wooded, and established, which means mature plantings that have grown past their intended size, deep leaf volume in fall, and enough lot to make maintenance a real time commitment. Soils shift from clay toward the sandier deposits west of the Fox River.
How we work here
Established Brookfield landscapes usually need editing more than adding. ALT Landscaping takes out what has outgrown its place, then rebuilds the bed around what is worth keeping.

Brookfield landscaping questions
My Brookfield landscaping is thirty years overgrown, where do we start?
By taking things out. Most established Brookfield frontages have three decades of growth in a bed designed for ten years of it. The first job is removal and hard pruning to see what is actually worth keeping; the replanting is usually smaller and cheaper than people expect.
How many fall cleanups does a wooded Brookfield lot need?
Two, and sometimes three on the most heavily treed properties near the Fox River corridor. A single pass on a large wooded Brookfield lot is not enough: the leaves that fall after it sit and mat through the winter, which is what causes the gray dead patches in April.
Is the soil different west of the Fox River?
Noticeably. East of the river you are still mostly in Milwaukee-type clay; west of it the soils get sandier and drain faster. That changes how often new plantings need watering and which species will actually thrive, and it is worth accounting for before buying plants.
How much does a large Brookfield property cost to maintain?
It scales with acreage and tree cover more than anything else. Brookfield lots are big, so mowing, cleanups and mulch quantities all run higher than a city property. We quote on measured area after a walkthrough, and the estimate is free.

Adolfo is a hard worker and has an attention for detail. I could tell he was handling my project as if it were his home.Karl G.Milwaukee, Wisconsin
I highly recommend Adolfo. We had a big job clearing out our entire front landscaping including stone and huge roots. He and his family were detail oriented and made sure to check at every step to make sure it was acceptable.Bridget M.Milwaukee, Wisconsin
