What Franklin yards are actually like
Franklin has the largest average residential lots in Milwaukee County, with plenty of properties on a half acre or more and some backing onto woods or the Root River corridor. Big lawns, long drives and real deer pressure on ornamental plantings define the work, and a long driveway is a very different snow job than a city apron.
How we work here
Large-lot mowing and long-driveway snow service are quoted on the actual acreage and the actual drive length. ALT Landscaping also plants with deer pressure in mind on wooded-edge properties.

Franklin landscaping questions
How do you price mowing on a half-acre Franklin lot?
By actual mowable area and the number of obstacles, not by a lot-size band. A half acre of open turf mows quickly; the same acreage broken up by beds, trees and a long fence line takes considerably longer. We measure at the estimate so the number holds all season.
What does a long Franklin driveway cost to plow?
Driveway length is the main variable in Franklin snow pricing, along with where the snow can be pushed. A long rural-edge drive with somewhere to put the pile is straightforward; one with limited stacking room takes more passes. Seasonal contracts are set in November.
What can I plant with deer coming out of the Root River corridor?
On wooded-edge Franklin properties deer pressure is real and constant. Boxwood, spirea, ninebark, Russian sage, catmint and most ornamental grasses are reliably left alone. Arborvitae, hosta and yew are browsed hard and are not worth planting near the corridor without protection.
Do you service properties on the rural edge of Franklin?
Yes. The larger and more rural properties out toward the county line are within the service area, and the acreage-scale work, big lawns, long drives, wooded edges, is a good fit for how we are set up. Call (414) 975-6841 to confirm your road.

From homeowners around Milwaukee
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
