Quick answer
How much does commercial landscape maintenance cost?
Full-service commercial landscape maintenance commonly runs $800 to $1,600 per acre per month nationally, depending on how much turf, planting and irrigation a site has. Crew time is typically billed at $40 to $80 per hour per worker. Desert properties with more rock and low-water planting and less turf often land toward the lower end.
For HOAs, landscaping is often one of the largest budget lines, sometimes close to half of total spending. A clear scope lets boards decide what’s included in the monthly price and what’s billed only when needed. You get a written scope and price before anything starts.

For boards and managers
What to put in a landscape contract
Most disputes with landscapers come from vague scopes. A good contract spells out what happens, how often and what costs extra.

Save water and money
Water-wise upgrades for commercial sites
Turf in parking islands, medians and narrow strips is expensive to water and maintain, and hard to water well. Replacing it with desert plants, rock and drip usually cuts water use and maintenance hours year after year.

Common problems we fix
Local know-how
Commercial landscaping in Las Cruces
Watering rules
Commercial irrigation follows the City watering days and summer hours too. We set and check controllers so sites stay within the rules.
Monsoon season
July to September storms wash rock onto walks and fill drainage areas with debris. Cleanup is built into the schedule.
Goatheads
Goatheads along walks and parking areas are a constant complaint. A late-winter pre-emergent plus summer spot work keeps them down.
Heat and reflected light
Parking islands bake. We use plants that handle reflected heat and drip that reaches deep roots.
Wind and litter
Spring wind blows trash and tumbleweeds into beds and fence lines. Regular pickup keeps sites looking cared for.
HOA communities
We know neighborhoods like Sonoma Ranch and Picacho Hills, where common areas set the tone for the whole community.
