What New Berlin yards are actually like
New Berlin is large suburban lots, many of them backing onto open ground or old farm parcels, with full-sun exposure and long property lines. Privacy screening along those lines is one of the most common requests, and subdivision entrance beds and long driveway edges add up to a lot of linear feet of mulch.
How we work here
Long property lines mean privacy screens, and privacy screens mean getting the mature width and the spacing right the first time. ALT Landscaping plants arborvitae screens with ten-year size in mind.

New Berlin landscaping questions
How far apart should arborvitae go for a privacy screen?
For Emerald Green, three feet on center gives a solid screen without crowding; Techny and other wider varieties need four to five. Planting tighter than that looks full sooner and then thins from the inside as the plants compete. Spacing is the decision people most often get wrong.
How long until a New Berlin privacy screen fills in?
Three to five years for a screen planted at five to six feet, depending on watering in the first two seasons. There is no shortcut, buying larger stock buys you about a year and costs considerably more. What matters far more is consistent water while the roots establish.
Can you mulch a long driveway edge?
Yes, and on New Berlin properties that is often hundreds of linear feet. The cost is driven by length and by whether a proper edge has to be cut first. Once the edge exists, annual re-mulching is straightforward and keeps the whole frontage looking maintained.
How much does mowing cost on a large New Berlin lot?
These are big open lots, which mow efficiently per square foot but take real time overall. Pricing follows measured mowable area rather than a size band. Properties with long fence lines cost more because of the trimming. 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
