LET US INTRODUCE OURSELVES
What began as a small lawn mowing operation based in our founder, Tyrrell Hughes’ residential Wauwatosa garage has taken significant strides over the past fifty years – not only in size, but in the breadth of service offerings. What has not changed over that time is our diligence to the main formula – focusing our efforts on curative stewardship of the land and dedicated service to the client. Through steadfast persistence to these objectives, we’ve been able to grow organically over time into one of the Midwest’s premier landscape contracting operations. And while it is not our goal to be the largest outfit, we are driven without parallel to provide the most informed and cutting-edge solutions toward the responsible care and improvement of our clients’ properties.
A JOURNEY THAT BEGAN IN A ‘TOSA GARAGE’
Tyrrell Hughes is the Founder of American Landscape.
For 40 years, he served as the company’s guiding light. His experience in landscape maintenance, design and development, and snow management services are steeped in breadth. He has worked, planned, and helped lead in every aspect of the company’s existence.
Tyrrell was raised in a small Midwestern farming community and went to school in a one-room country school. His father was an early practitioner of sustainable agriculture and conservation, taking a rundown farm that would grow corn only 4 feet high and yield barely 35 bushels per acre, and through patience, hard work, suffering and practicing restorative agriculture, changed that land into the most productive in the area, winning a national award in 1947. “I remember to this day my father scooping up soil in his hands in a freshly plowed field on a Thanksgiving Day, running it between his fingers, demonstrating he could tell by feel the qualities or deficiencies of that soil.” These early experiences proved profoundly formative and ultimately led him to return to working the land, but in a different way than his father.
