Phoenix, AZ · Two brothers, flat rates, the same truck
Two brothers keeping Phoenix yards under control.
A&M Landscaping — a small Phoenix-Valley operation built around flat rates, the same crew every visit, and yards that look better the week after we leave than the week before.
Free, no-pressure walk-through. We quote on-site so the number you get is the number you pay.

Why we’re called A&M
A for Alexander.
M for Maximus.
Two brothers, one truck, no middle layer.
We’re a small operation on purpose. The person who quotes your yard is the same person running the trimmer that morning. That’s why our routes stay tight, our quotes stay honest, and you never get a different crew showing up wondering what the last one did.
What two crews can finish in a day
- – A small overgrown back yard, hauled and tidy.
- – 8–10 routine maintenance visits across one zip cluster.
- – A 600–800 sq ft front-yard granite refresh.
- – One palo verde + one mesquite thinned before monsoon.
What we won’t pretend we can do
- – Same-day quotes on a property we haven’t walked.
- – Big commercial HOA contracts with 30+ common areas.
- – Ground-up landscape design from scratch.
- – Pool service. Different trade.

What we do
Yard work thatholds up to Phoenix
We don’t pretend a Sonoran front yard is a New Jersey lawn. Pick one of these or all of them — every job comes off a flat written number, walked by Alex or Max before any work starts.
Overgrown Property Reset
Empty rentals, inherited yards, properties the last tenant let go — we cut it all back, haul it out, and hand it back tidy.
starts at $250 · per visit
Sonoran Plant Care
Saguaro, palo verde, mesquite, agave, ocotillo — pruned the way each plant actually wants, not whacked into a shape.
starts at $95 · per visit
Gravel & Decomposed Granite
Refresh tired front yards: weed-cloth down where it helps, fresh granite or river rock spread, edges defined, plants kept healthy through the swap.
starts at $350 · per visit
Pre-Monsoon Cleanups
Before July: thin overgrown trees, secure loose limbs, clear washes around the house. After: haul what the storm dropped.
starts at $220 · per visit
Drip & Sprinkler Repairs
The drip line that stopped working, the head spraying the wrong direction, the controller nobody understands — we sort it.
starts at $95 · per visit
Hedge & Shrub Trimming
Oleander, Texas sage, lantana, hopbush — kept tidy without scalping them. Done by hand where it matters, by trimmer where it does not.

Paver Patios & Walkways
Travertine, flagstone, or concrete pavers — set on a base that holds up to summer heat and monsoon flash flooding.

Sonoran specialists
We grew up around these plants.
Most of the worst yard mistakes in Phoenix come from treating desert plants like the back-east shrubs they aren’t. Here’s how we handle the five we see most — and what we’ll always tell you not to do.
Saguaro
- What we do
- Skirt the base of debris, clean dropped fruit, watch for damage.
- What we won’t do
- Top a saguaro. Ever. They don't grow back.
Palo Verde
- What we do
- Thin the canopy in late spring so monsoon wind passes through.
- What we won’t do
- Shear it round. Palo verde is not a hedge.
Ocotillo
- What we do
- Remove dead canes at the base, leave the live ones alone.
- What we won’t do
- Cut canes back to "shape it." That kills the bloom.
Agave
- What we do
- Separate pups before they crowd the parent. Remove spent flower stalks.
- What we won’t do
- Trim the leaf tips off. The plant looks worse, not tidier.
Mesquite
- What we do
- Shape young trees so they never need major surgery later.
- What we won’t do
- Lift the canopy past 1/3 of the tree height in one visit.
“If we can’t do something the right way for the plant, we’ll tell you. Half the time we just talk customers out of the haircut.”

How it works
Three steps,no hassle
We try to make hiring us boring in the best way — predictable, quiet, easy to explain to your spouse.
Walk the property
We come out, listen to what you want, and look at what the lawn actually needs. No high-pressure quotes, no surprises.
Quote on the spot
You get a flat per-visit price the same day. That number is what shows up on the invoice — no add-ons.
Same crew, every week
Once we start, the same two-person crew shows up the same morning every week. Quiet, on-time, gate latched.

Recent work, around the Phoenix Valley.
Mostly weekly customers’ yards. The desert looks like this between our visits — that’s the point.
Where we work
Most of the Valley, give or take.
We run two main routes — Phoenix & Glendale on one day, the East Valley (Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Paradise Valley) on another. If you’re inside one of these zip clusters, your weekly visit lands the same morning every week.

In their words
What customers say
Some of the long-time customers who put up with us showing up every week, rain or shine.
Bought a rental in north Phoenix where the back yard had been abandoned for at least a year. Alex and Max walked it on a Tuesday, gave a flat number, finished it Thursday. Tenant moved in the next week.

Two brothers actually showing up — not a sales guy and then a different crew. They thinned my palo verde and a mesquite that was leaning over the pool. Did the work I asked, did not pitch me on extras.

Refreshed the front yard granite, fixed three drip lines, and pruned the ocotillo without killing it. Price they quoted was the price they charged. Will keep them on weekly.

Good to know
Frequently asked
- On most jobs, yes — Alex and Max. On bigger overgrown-property resets we bring a third hand. The estimate, the work, and the follow-up all come from the two of us, so nothing gets lost in a hand-off.
- Both. Plenty of Phoenix yards have a back-yard Bermuda or rye patch we mow weekly. We just do not pretend the front yard wants to be a lawn — desert plants and gravel are usually the right answer for the heat.
- Flat-rate, no per-blade nonsense. Routine maintenance is a monthly number quoted after we walk the property. Overgrown-property resets and gravel jobs are flat-priced after a walk-through. You get the number before any work starts.
- Yes. A lot of our overgrown-reset work comes from property managers turning over rentals across the Valley. We can invoice the management company directly and email photos before and after.
- We prioritize existing weekly customers first after a big storm — usually within 24 to 48 hours. New customers we get to as soon as the regular routes are caught up. If a limb is on a roof or a car, call and say so.
- Yes — general liability on every job. Happy to send the certificate to a property manager or HOA before the first visit.
