“designed so thoughtfully…with such deep knowledge of horticulture, landscape design…soil, climate, and wildlife”
I love the landscape Kristyn designed for me so much. She took care to find out about what I wanted, how my family would use the space, and what level of care we could give it. I wasn’t sure how much could be done with a small Wauwatosa yard, and if it would be possible to have both a traditional English cottage garden and a kitchen garden to grow our favorite vegetables.
The whole space is designed so thoughtfully, though, and with such deep knowledge of horticulture, landscape design, and the region’s soil, climate, and wildlife, that I didn’t have to choose between them. I’m amazed at how a little bit of earth can be transformed into a suite of wonderful garden rooms with winding paths and a shifting kaleidoscope of blooms that draw butterflies, bees, and an entertaining assortment of backyard birds.
― Sarah Wadsworth, Wauwatosa, WI
“a gorgeous landscape that feels peaceful and inviting, beautifully designed from every angle”
Kristyn brings an incredible level of care, knowledge, and intention to every detail. You can truly see her heart in the master plan she designed and implemented. I appreciate how thoughtfully each plant is chosen – nothing is random. Every perennial, shrub and tree is selected for color harmony, pollinator attraction and continual waves of blooms all season long. As one plant fades, another begins, so there is always something fresh and colorful to enjoy.
She didn’t just plant flowers, but considered how I move in my yard, where I sit, what I enjoy seeing from inside the house, and how each area connects. Kristyn redesigned my deck to be more functional and built a beautiful stone patio to gather, perfect for sitting around the fire table and enjoying evenings outside. She incorporated an attractive, functional storage area under my deck for garden tools, keeping things organized without sacrificing beauty.
All of the gardens and outdoor spaces are connected with creative transitions, using a variety of thoughtfully designed paths. Each area flows naturally into the next, making the entire landscape feel cohesive and welcoming, and even a little whimsical.
The result is a gorgeous landscape that feels peaceful and inviting, beautifully designed from every angle. I wholeheartedly recommend Bloom! Landscaping to anyone looking for creative, high-quality landscaping with true attention to detail.
― Johnna Sachtschale, Franklin, WI
“friends call my yard magical”
“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 seem 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!!“
― Corinthia Van Orsdol, Whitefish Bay, WI

“Bloom! has transformed my yard from the ordinary to the spectacular.”
“Bloom! has transformed my yard from the ordinary to the spectacular. I am so pleased with the results of your design and plantings. The colors and textures are well organized and appealing to me and others who have seen my yard. The selection of perennials, shrubs and trees brings surprises throughout the year. The color changes are dramatic and inspiring. Thank you for a job well done.”
― Tom Mueller, Greenfield, WI
“The result is a completely transformed courtyard—lush, cohesive, and full of character.”
We recently worked with Bloom! Landscaping to redesign the garden at our courtyard entrance. It was a uniquely challenging space—half in full sun, half in deep shade—and we needed a design that felt unified and welcoming. Kristyn took the time to understand our preferences for color, plant varieties, and maintenance, and translated all of that into a thoughtful plan that made the most of every corner.
Bloom! handled everything: creating a plan, preparing the site, selecting beautiful combinations of flowers and greenery for our garden, flower box and planters, and planting it all.
The result is a completely transformed courtyard—lush, cohesive, and full of character. It feels like a secret garden tucked into an urban downtown setting, and it brings us joy every time we walk through it. We’re truly pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Bloom! Landscaping for anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space with creativity, expertise, and care.
― Jean Dole, Milwaukee, WI
“I highly recommend Bloom! Landscaping…for creative, personalized, innovative landscape design services.”
I highly recommend Bloom! Landscaping to anyone looking for creative, personalized, innovative landscape design services. Little did I know when we asked for a landscape master plan how amazing my yard would look in a few years. I get such joy looking outside at the investment we made. Our landscape is truly unique and custom-made.
Kristyn thinks about the smallest details. I love how cozy my landscape feels. She considers how your eye will flow across the yard to make it look warm and inviting, and she has included many design details that reference our home’s architecture in our patio, walkway and other features. She listens to what you like and suggests plants that match your style and tolerance for yard work. After the installation, she gives you tips on how to keep your yard looking its best.
Another reason I recommend Bloom! to everyone who compliments my yard is she works with you on your budget and timeline while also laying out your options. She helped us prioritize and identify the most cost effective way to phase our landscape installation.
For me, the best part of the process with Bloom! was the collaboration. She let me influence design ideas while guiding my decisions and customized the design experience. I can guarantee you will not get anything that looks like she reused a plan from another home!
Another factor I like is that Kristyn enjoys a design challenge. We’ve been working together since 2016. She coordinated with blacksmiths to design a custom-made wrought iron railing of gothic arches and rosettes based on a picture I liked. She also designed a secret garden door/gate with custom-made iron ornamentation too. We call it our castle door.
“Community members of every age stop by every day to look…”
Our latest artisan adventure was adding a garden kaleidoscope I saw at a park. Kristyn collaborated with the artist and redesigned a section of our front yard, making the interactive kaleidoscope sculpture available to the community to enjoy while blending it into our landscape. Community members of every age stop by every day to look through the scopes at our floating flower displays.
While I’d be happy to talk to anyone considering Bloom!, the best reference is how amazing my yard looks! Stop by to see what’s blooming from April-October.
― Lynda Taylor, Wauwatosa, WI
“Kristyn is a very talented landscape design artist and knowledgeable horticulturist.”
After purchasing a 12-year-old home with very crowded and overgrown landscaping, we consulted other landscape companies who recommended starting over with all new plantings. We had an extensive collection of pretty perennials that we loved, but the landscape looked messy.
Only Bloom! Landscaping saw our home’s landscaping potential and was willing to redesign our yard with both existing and new plants. She preserved and expanded our favorite perennials by dividing and transplanting the best of them.
Kristyn is a very talented landscape design artist and knowledgeable horticulturist. We have learned a lot from her about our plants and will definitely continue to work with Bloom! Landscaping for our future landscaping needs.

“they now function as a single lyrical canvas of color, shape, texture and design”
On behalf of the Gardening and Landscaping Committee of St. John’s on the Lake, a Senior Residential Community, I wish to express our enthusiastic satisfaction with our artfully redesigned landscape for our Chapel Garden.
We chose to contract with Bloom! Landscaping, because we were impressed with Kristyn Greenfield’s immediate observations of the challenge we were presenting to her. This space around a traditional Greek Revival red brick chapel has a lovely but dominating concrete promenade and four sculptures which are both traditional and modern. The almost constant winds due to our location on the Lake Michigan Bluff are frequently gale like. She noted that we also had soil and drainage problems that needed to be addressed, along with areas of shallow engineered soil due to a garage beneath 1/3 of the garden. Her suggestions of potential plants demonstrated her extensive horticultural knowledge and understanding of our challenge.
Our committee had discussed a Japanese influenced garden with the additional criteria that it must survive our difficult wind and weather patterns, and must be low maintenance. Kristyn devoted a lot of time to listening and learning about residents’ plant preferences and the existing plants residents hoped to keep. She then presented a plan that helped the gardening and landscaping committee understand her solutions.
Bloom! Landscaping has now installed our redesigned garden. It incorporates the beautiful curves of our promenade into the garden design so they now function as a single lyrical canvas of color, shape, texture and design. She incorporated gray and colorful decorative stone, dancing trees and lighting patterns that accentuate our sculptures and add to the three dimensional landscape of our garden.
Residents are universally pleased. Everyday, I encounter someone who expresses his or her praise and enthusiasm for our new dynamic Chapel Garden landscape. Thank you to Kristyn for her patience with us and her outstanding creative landscape.
―Cheri Briscoe, Co-Chairperson,
St. Johns on the Lake Gardening and Landscape Committee
“delighted with her easy manner and beautiful ideas!”
I was so fortunate to meet Kristyn Greenfield, the creative owner of Bloom Landscaping, through my daughter about six years ago. I so admired the work she did on my daughter’s outside Christmas décor that I wanted to “up my game” and go beyond my usual (and admittedly somewhat tired) exterior displays. So I called Kristyn for an in-home appointment and was delighted with her easy manner and beautiful ideas!
She imagined what would look perfect for the exterior of my old French Country house offering many ideas for me to choose from. With her resources and skill, I had an abundance of stunning ribbon choices and unique Christmas designs. Decking our halls has never been easier or prettier. In fact, each year we have added just a bit more, moving inside as well!

“I recommend Bloom! to anyone who wants a beautiful landscape with eco-friendly service you can trust.”
I recommend Bloom! to anyone who wants a beautiful landscape with eco-friendly service you can trust. My yard is small, but we got big service! Our front yard was in poor shape. We either had flood conditions from adjacent properties draining into ours or drought. I simply didn’t look at it unless the lawn needed to be mowed, which was part of the problem. I hated mowing and didn’t like using chemicals. I couldn’t get anything to grow in our shady yard. Every plant I brought home from the garden center croaked.
Bloom! presented a plan that resolved our major concerns. Our yard was completely regraded, improving drainage issues dramatically. Bloom! replaced our entire lawn with an exciting variety of flowering shrubs and perennials that I never thought we could have in a small, shady yard. We now look at our front yard every day to see what is blooming rather than what needs to be mowed.
We weren’t left to fend for ourselves when the job was done. We were told how to care for our new plantings and what to do when they were established. Bloom! ensured earth-friendly solutions were central to the design!
― Linda Hoover, West Allis
“I get compliments all the time from my neighbors and people that drive or walk by”
I am so happy with the garden design Kristyn has created in our yard. I get compliments all the time from my neighbors and people that drive or walk by Wisconsin Avenue. She is very knowledgeable about plants which will grow best in certain soil types and areas of sunlight exposure. She provides pictures of different plants to choose from. I’m very picky about color scheme, and she takes all that into consideration. She’s very flexible about all our different needs. She doesn’t plant and then just go away. We are happy to have her in the neighborhood!
― Sandra Mulloolly, Wauwatosa
“The service provided by Bloom! far exceeds the average landscaper”
The service provided by Bloom! far exceeds the average landscaper in creating and maintaining gardens. Bloom!’s selection of flowers is very original and pleasing to the eyes. When our landscape was redesigned, our plants were updated with more interesting and superior plantings.
Keeping our landscape watered properly is a challenge for us. Bloom! came up with an outstanding solution for keeping our pots and gardens watered. Kristyn is very easy to work with, and she communicates her plans and listens to our ideas, so we can work in harmony. She works hard to minimize costs. Her work is highly satisfactory. We are pleased with what Bloom! has done to beautify our home.
― Russell Gamble, Whitefish Bay
“a bird and butterfly garden…that added levels of interest we had never experienced.”
Bloom! listened to input from the women who use our courtyard and delivered more than we asked! This outdoor space was a mess. The trees were sick, and the weeds were healthy. We wanted and needed beauty, color and structure, but we also wanted low upkeep. Bloom! diagnosed plant health problems and transformed weed-infested soil into better growing conditions. A bird and butterfly garden, herb garden and other defined spaces were created with flowers, herbs and shrubs that added levels of interest we had never experienced. We got what we wanted and love the beautiful gardens that were created.
― Chris Warner Salvatorian Sisters Residence, Milwaukee
“We are looking forward to using Bloom! again.”
We were very pleased with the service and the product provided by Bloom! this past holiday service. Kristyn responded very promptly to our inquiry about holiday décor for the exterior of our home. She was willing to work within the budget and time constraints which we indicated.
Kristyn’s selection of colors and style was very original and nontraditional. We are very pleased with the results. The décor was installed by Bloom!, but we were able to remove it and store it until next holiday season, without difficulty. We are looking forward to using Bloom! again.
― Susan McNally, Wauwatosa
“We have had so many compliments on our yard from neighbors who walk through the subdivision.”
My husband and I are very happy with Kristyn’s attention to detail, knowledge, hard work, dedication to us as her clients, and especially the finished product. We have had so many compliments on our yard from neighbors who walk through the subdivision. Stop by and take a look!
Bloom! Landscaping’s quote gave us so much more for our dollar, compared to another landscaper’s quote: many more plantings, very personalized service in the form of floral and tree options that work best in our soil-and-critter environment, pre-planting soil testing, time spent on the job carefully making sure everything is perfect (Kristyn is the one you will see doing the work), and she also provided a maintenance schedule for homeowners like us who want to keep our yard looking as beautiful as the day the work was completed.
Kristyn really enjoys what she does – it’s evident from her conversations with clients. She understands native Wisconsin plants, pointed them out in our yard, and provided interesting facts about them. She’s conscientious and thoughtful and takes her time working with clients during the analysis, planning, and visualization stages. She has stopped back to see how the plantings are doing and offered additional tips on their care.
― Carol Schmidt-Tatman, Greenfield, WI
“I am completely in love with the Christmas décor Bloom! created for my front entrance.”
I am completely in love with the Christmas décor Bloom! created for my front entrance. It’s truly the most beautiful display I have ever seen. The quality of craftsmanship and creative choice of materials are much better than anything I’ve found in any store. I could not be happier!
