What Greendale yards are actually like
Greendale was built as a planned Greenbelt town and it still shows, the Originals district has small, deliberately composed lots where the landscaping is part of a coherent village look, and the surrounding subdivisions are more conventional post-war suburban. Scale and restraint matter here; an oversized planting looks wrong immediately.
How we work here
Historic-district properties get plantings scaled to the house and the street. ALT Landscaping keeps it in proportion rather than filling every bed to the edge.

Greendale landscaping questions
Do you work in the Greendale Originals district?
Yes, and it needs a lighter hand than a standard suburban lot. The Originals were designed as a set, with small front yards and a consistent street rhythm. Work there should read as part of the village rather than as a statement, which mostly means restraint.
How do you keep plantings in scale with a small Greendale lot?
Fewer plants, correctly sized, with room left around them. The most common mistake on a Greendale front yard is filling the bed edge to edge with shrubs that will be twice the size in five years. We plant to mature dimensions and let the mulch do the rest.
What suits the village look without seeming out of place?
Simple, traditional material, clipped boxwood, hydrangea, daylily, hosta, a restrained perennial palette and a clean cut edge. Bold tropical color schemes and oversized ornamental features tend to look wrong against Greendale's original architecture.
How much does bed work cost on a Greendale lot?
Greendale beds are small, so edging, weeding and mulching a front yard here is one of the more affordable jobs on the list. Recurring bed maintenance every three or four weeks keeps it looking intentional all season. Free written estimate after a walkthrough.

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
