Yard maintenance
Recurring monthly visits — gravel rake, hedge shape, edge clean, debris haul. Tuned to Sonoran cycles, not a generic four-season calendar.
Tucson, AZ — Pima County, S Mission Rd corridor
Six services. One Tucson contact.
Yard care, irrigation, tree trim, sod, gravel, and dark-sky-friendly low-voltage lighting — done from one truck, by one operator, on one schedule. Solo since 2019. Pima County only.

About LM Landscapes & Irrigation
One truck. Six services. Built around what a Tucson yard actually needs.
LM Landscapes & Irrigation started in September 2019 on the S Mission Rd corridor in south Tucson. Six years in, the work has settled into six things — yard maintenance, weeding and spraying, tree trimming, irrigation install and repair, sod and gravel upkeep, and low-voltage landscape lighting.
Most Tucson solo crews stop at mow and haul. I do all six because a desert yard needs all six. The mesquite gets trimmed before monsoon. The drip manifold gets flushed in May. The DG gets re-raked every month. The saguaro gets a shielded uplight that's under the 3000K cap so it stays dark-sky-friendly. One call to one number gets the whole list scheduled in one visit window.
Friendly staff, top-quality service — and a free estimate that's actually free.

What I do — Tucson, AZ
Six services that share one truck.
Pick one, pick three, pick all six. Same operator, same number, same schedule window.
- from $95
Weeding + spraying
Pre-emergent in Feb and Sept; spot post-emergent through the year. Spray rigs calibrated; we mark what's been treated.
- from $165
Tree trimming
Palo verde, mesquite, ironwood, citrus. Light structural trim every visit so a tree never needs a big one. Pulled off the roof before monsoon.
- from $110
Irrigation install + repair
From a new drip layout to a chewed-through emitter line. Pressure-regulated emitters sized for native plants. Most repairs done in one visit.
- from $340
Low-voltage lighting
12V landscape lighting — path lights, saguaro uplights, mesquite moonlighting downlights. Every fixture shielded and ≤3000K for Tucson dark-sky code.
- from $180
Sod + gravel upkeep
Sod swap-in, regrade, DG top-off, paver edge reset. We treat both as a finish material — laid clean, kept clean.
One truck, six services, one route
A Tucson lot, every service in place.
Most Tucson solo crews handle one or two of these. LM Landscapes & Irrigation does all six on the same visit. Here is a representative Pima County lot with every service pinned where it actually happens.
The six, in place
Sod lawn
Front-yard sod area — install, top-dress, or swap. Mowed and edged on monthly visits.
Gravel + DG zones
Decomposed granite path and gravel beds — re-raked monthly, topped off twice a year.
Tree trimming
Palo verde and mesquite — light structural trim every visit, pulled off the roof before monsoon.
Irrigation valve box
Drip manifold + zone valves on the side wall. Flushed in May, walked every visit.
Low-voltage lighting
Saguaro uplight, path lights along the DG, shielded sconce by the door — all ≤3000K, all dark-sky-friendly.
Weed + spray pass
Perimeter spray loop — pre-emergent in Feb and Sept, spot treatment year-round.
One call to (520) 338-1217, one walkthrough, one quote. Pick any of the six; pick all six. Same operator either way.
Low-voltage lighting — dusk to dawn
The same yard at dusk, lit two ways.
Every fixture is 12V, shielded or full-cutoff, and stays under 3000K. Saguaro gets a narrow uplight cone — light hits the trunk, not the sky. Mesquite gets a high-mounted downlight for a moonlighting effect through the canopy. Path lights along the DG. The whole yard reads at night without bleeding into the Tucson sky.
Unlit at dusk — house, saguaro, mesquite, and DG path all read as silhouettes. Welcoming during the day; invisible after sundown.
Same yard, shielded 12V install — saguaro uplit, mesquite moonlit, path lit, door sconce on. Every fixture under the Tucson / Pima County dark-sky lumen cap.
Tucson dark-sky-friendly
- Color temperature ≤ 3000K on every fixture
- Fully shielded / full-cutoff — no light above horizontal
- Residential lumen caps respected per Tucson / Pima County code
- Saguaro uplights run narrow-beam, low-lumen, base-mounted
- Moonlighting downlights mounted high in canopy, aimed down
Tucson and Pima County share an outdoor lighting code (current edition: 2025) designed to protect the night sky for Kitt Peak, Mt. Lemmon, and the homes in between. Every install at LM Landscapes & Irrigation is sized to stay under the code from day one.

Reviews — Tucson, AZ
Six years on Yelp, a 72-photo book of work.
Friendly, top-quality work. We had Lane do drip, tree trim, and a small lighting run all in the same visit. One call, one bill, one day on the calendar.
Free estimate showed up when he said he would, and the quote held. That's not always how it goes in this trade.
Installed path lights and uplit our saguaro — shielded, warm color, doesn't bleed up into the sky. He talked through the Tucson dark-sky rules before he even quoted.
- Yelp
Drip system was leaking under the gravel for who knows how long. He found it on the first walkthrough, fixed it in one visit, and showed me how to spot the next one myself.
- Yelp
Honors the military discount, no hassle. Showed up on time, three visits running.
He does basically everything you'd need for a Tucson yard. We started with a sod swap, then added monthly care, then added lighting last fall. Same guy every time.
