Lot clearing & yard grading in Paradise Hills
Paradise Hills sits up on the West Mesa with big views, sandy soil and steady wind. We clear yards and lots, regrade for drainage and haul off the debris.
West Mesa ground, neighborhood rules
Paradise Hills is an established neighborhood on Albuquerque’s West Mesa, built around a golf course, with views across the valley to the Sandias. Yards and lots here are mostly sand, and the wind that crosses the mesa means bare ground doesn’t stay put for long.
Most of our work here is upkeep and improvement: clearing weeds and trash from yards and vacant lots, regrading a backyard so it drains, taking out old trees and overgrown shrubs, and making room for a new patio, shed or addition.
Part of Paradise Hills is unincorporated Bernalillo County, and that area has its own zoning body, the Paradise Hills Special Zoning District. Other nearby addresses are inside Albuquerque city limits. Knowing which applies to your lot tells you who to ask before you build something new.

Before we start in Paradise Hills
- Special zoning district. In the unincorporated part of Paradise Hills, zoning is handled by the Paradise Hills Special Zoning Commission, not Bernalillo County. According to the county, new construction there needs a plot survey approved by the commission before you apply to the county for a building permit.
- Weeds and trash. The commission responds to written neighbor complaints, and excessive weeds and trash are among the most common. If you’ve received a complaint or notice, we can clear the yard quickly.
- Inside city limits, City of Albuquerque rules apply instead.
- Utilities. We request a New Mexico 811 locate before any digging.
Rules change and vary by property. We help you check what applies; we don’t give legal advice or guarantee permit decisions.

Paradise Hills questions
Does clearing my yard need a permit?
Routine weed and debris clearing usually doesn’t. New structures and additions do. Inside the special zoning district, check with the commission first.
How do I keep my sandy yard from blowing after it’s cleared?
We can leave mulch, gravel or rock in place of bare dirt, and we don’t leave ground bare longer than necessary.
Do you work in the rest of the Northwest Mesa?
Yes, including Taylor Ranch, Ventana Ranch, Volcano Cliffs and the neighborhoods around them.
