Yard of the Month

We moved to Brookfield when our children were starting high school at Blessed Trinity.  We anticipated staying 6 years, and then we could move anywhere…14 years later, we’re still here.  In 2019, we were able to find a ranch house on the golf course and stay in Brookfield. We started a nine-month renovation project on the interior and when it was completed, we turned our attention to the outside. We completely scraped the existing landscape; the yard, shrubbery, and removed 17 trees.  We brought it down to dirt on all four sides of the house.  With the help of a landscape company, we designed our future yard.  Boulders were brought in and the walls in the back yard were formed, creating tiers.  (Thank you to our neighbors who put up with all the trucks blocking our street for so many days!) Sod was laid, trees were planted, and plantings were arranged throughout the property.  After a year of maturing, we are thoroughly enjoying our home, inside and out!
