Weed Removal vs Yard Cleanup — What's The Difference?

Homeowners ask for one and need the other all the time. Here's the difference in plain language.

Weed removal

Targeted: standing weeds knocked down, root crowns hand-pulled, area raked, debris bagged. Best for gravel yards that look mostly intentional but have visible weed growth.

Typical price in NM: $79 front yard, $149–$249 for a standard reset.

Full yard cleanup

Everything weed removal does, plus: trimming overgrown shrubs, removing brush piles, raking and bagging leaves, hauling away debris, and a driveway/walkway blow-off.

Typical price: $249–$399+ depending on how overgrown things have gotten. Severely neglected yards run $400–$600+.

How to pick

If you can see your yard's outline and the weeds are the main problem, you want weed removal. If the yard looks abandoned, you want a full cleanup. When in doubt, text photos to 505-463-9040 — we'll tell you which one fits.
