What we get called out for

High desert land comes with its own problems. Whatever is standing between you and a clean, usable property, we have the equipment to handle it.

Overgrown lots & tumbleweeds

Kochia and tumbleweeds take over after the monsoon and pile up against every wall and fence when the wind blows.

Weed & litter notices

Got a notice from the city or county to clean up your lot? We can usually get you on the schedule quickly.

Fire risk from dry brush

Dead brush and dry weeds near homes and fences are fuel. Clearing it is one of the easiest ways to reduce risk.

Invasive trees

Siberian elm, salt cedar (tamarisk) and Russian olive spread fast and re-sprout from the roots if they are just cut.

Stumps & roots in the way

Old stumps block driveways, pads and fences. We grind them down or pull them out, roots and all.

Uneven or sloped land

Humps, dips and slopes make a lot hard to use. Grading gives you a level surface that drains the right way.

Drainage & erosion

Monsoon storms send water toward the house, carve ruts in driveways and wash out slopes.

Illegal dumping & debris

Mattresses, construction scraps and junk piles on vacant lots. We load it up and haul it away.

Lot not ready to build

Raw land needs clearing, grading, a pad and trenches before your builder can start. We do all of it.

We know Albuquerque dirt

Land here is not like land anywhere else. Hard caliche sits just below the surface in many neighborhoods, the foothills and East Mountains are rocky, and the West Mesa is loose sand that blows the moment it is disturbed. Arroyos and monsoon flash floods mean grading has to be done with drainage in mind.

There are rules to respect too. Larger clearing and grading jobs may need a dust control permit, bigger sites may need stormwater coverage, and grading must not send water onto your neighbors. We help you check what your project needs before work starts, and we always call New Mexico 811 before we dig.
