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, with crew time at $40 to $80 per hour per worker. Desert properties in Las Cruces with more rock and drip 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 should an HOA landscape contract include?

A good contract spells out visit frequency by season, the areas covered with a site map, what is included versus billed as needed, response times, irrigation responsibilities and repair limits, reporting, one point of contact and how prices can change.

Most disputes with landscapers come from vague scopes. Managing rentals instead? See the property manager landscaping checklist.

Save water and money

How can a commercial property save water on landscaping?

Remove turf from parking islands, medians and narrow strips, convert spray zones to drip, add weather-based smart controllers, choose low-water and low-litter plants, and use rock or decomposed granite in high-traffic areas. These changes usually cut water use and maintenance hours.

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.

Upgrade

Why it pays off

Remove turf from islands and strips

No mowing, less overspray on pavement

Convert spray zones to drip

Water goes to the roots, less waste

Smart, weather-based controllers

Schedules adjust to heat and rain

Low-water, low-litter plants

Less trimming and cleanup

Rock and DG in high-traffic areas

No worn paths or muddy spots

Common problems we fix

  • Sprinklers spraying parking lots and walls
  • Goatheads in rock and along sidewalks
  • Overgrown shrubs blocking signs and sight lines
  • Washed-out rock after monsoon storms
  • Dead plants on neglected drip zones
  • Trees hanging low over walks and cars

Local know-how

What makes commercial landscaping in Las Cruces different?

Commercial sites here follow City watering days and summer hours, take monsoon washouts from July to September, fight goatheads along walks, bake in reflected heat on parking islands, and collect windblown litter in spring. HOA common areas set the tone for whole neighborhoods.

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.
