What Mequon yards are actually like
Mequon is defined by large lots, one to five acres is common, with heavy tree cover, wooded edges and serious deer pressure on ornamental plantings. Sitting slightly north and inland, it runs marginally colder than the Milwaukee lakefront, which matters when a plant is rated right at the edge of Zone 5.
How we work here
Deer-resistant plant selection and acreage-scale mowing and cleanup. ALT Landscaping quotes Mequon properties on real acreage rather than a suburban flat rate.

Mequon landscaping questions
How do you price mowing on Mequon acreage?
On measured mowable acreage, not on a flat suburban rate. A two-acre Mequon property is a fundamentally different job from a suburban lot and pricing it like one helps nobody. We measure at the estimate and the number holds for the season.
What actually survives deer pressure in Mequon?
Boxwood, spirea, ninebark, barberry, Russian sage, catmint, ornamental grasses and most strongly aromatic perennials get left alone. Arborvitae, hosta, yew and daylily are browsed hard here. Planting the second group near a wooded edge in Mequon without protection is money spent twice.
Is Mequon colder than Milwaukee for plant hardiness?
Slightly, and it matters at the margins. Sitting further north and inland, Mequon loses some of the moderating effect the lake gives Milwaukee, so plants rated right at the edge of Zone 5 are a safer bet in the city than they are here. We plant a zone hardier where it counts.
Do you handle the wooded edges as well as the lawn?
Yes, brush clearing, small tree and bush removal and keeping the woodland edge from creeping into the lawn are regular Mequon work. Large-diameter or hazardous tree removal goes to a certified arborist, and we will tell you when that is the right call.

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
