A typical rental turnover
Example: a tenant move-out in East Mesa with a weedy rock front yard, a dirt backyard full of goatheads and two overgrown shrubs. Weeding and goathead removal ($200–$350), shrub trimming ($100–$200) and two truckloads hauled away ($200–$400). That comes to about $500 to $950, done in one day, with photos sent to the owner.

City service vs. full cleanup
Should I use the City grappler or hire a yard cleanup crew?

Myth vs. fact
“Just blow the weeds into the rock.”
Fact: weeds left in rock beds drop seed and root in the dust between stones. Pull them, bag them and follow up with a pre-emergent.
Myth vs. fact
“One spray gets rid of goatheads for good.”
Fact: goathead seeds can sit in the soil for years. Removing plants before the burrs drop, plus a late-winter pre-emergent every year, is what wins.
Seasonal cleanup
When do Las Cruces yards need a cleanup?
The best times for a Las Cruces yard cleanup are late winter, before goatheads and weeds sprout, after spring wind storms, after monsoon storms bring weed flushes and silt, and in late fall once leaves drop. Timing it right means less work the rest of the year.
