About Bloom! Landscaping, we create inspiring outdoor spaces like this breath-taking English and pollinator habitat garden. The edge of a brick patio abuts an explosion of blooming shrubs and perennials in pinks, whites and light purples, including lavender, butterfly bushes, roses and purple-leafed weigela. In the backdrop is a 50’ retaining wall built by Kristyn Greenfield and a beautifully crafted cedar privacy fence. The entire backyard is filled with flowers and textures that look amazing.

A pollinator garden in Wauwatosa is a tapestry of color with lavender, variegated iris, alliums and intriguing foliage colors and textures. The project was designed and installed by Bloom!, featuring a natural brick patio, natural stone retaining walls and trees, shrubs and perennials with cedar fencing and trelliage built by carpentry partners.

About Bloom Landscaping, we create captivating outdoor spaces like this formal front yard landscape in Wauwatosa. Dramatic purple alliums, pink roses and other perennials are blooming within a lush boxwood hedge.

May to June in this Wauwatosa front yard brings exciting transitions as timed blooms move through the garden. This formal planting — accented with bluestone steppers and lavender-lined aggregate pathways — was designed and installed by Bloom! Landscaping. Cast-stone benches offer the owners places to enjoy changing garden views, while ornamental grasses and dwarf lilacs on standard add texture, screening, and four-season curb appeal.

“When my friends call my yard magical, I have to agree....the gardens set the stage for a delightful morning or an enchanting evening.”

When my friends call my yard magical, I have to agree. Kristyn has turned a boring lawn surrounded by shrubs into a garden that draws us in with color, architecture, and fragrance. Sitting on my patio with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine is more than enhanced by the landscaping…the gardens set the stage for a delightful morning or an enchanting evening. And it is ever-changing! The yellow daffodils and pink hyacinths in spring give way to astonishing Allium globes which then yield to butterfly bushes and hydrangeas and sunflowers.

Mine is a small yard, but Kristyn has created spaces and hidden nooks and paths that seems to go beyond the garden gate. And she is a delight to work with! Kristyn is truly the hardest worker I know and she’s totally responsive. She wants her client to love her creation and so works hand in hand to make it so. I’m so grateful for all that she has accomplished on my behalf…and my neighbors as well!!”
