Grounds Maintenance in Scottsdale, AZ
Scottsdale properties are judged on details, and the city's code enforcement rules spell out a few of them. Pro Turf provides commercial grounds maintenance across Scottsdale for HOAs, resorts, apartment communities and office properties: porter and litter service, pressure washing, weed control in desert landscapes and drainage checks, usually alongside landscape maintenance.
What Scottsdale's code expects
In Scottsdale, six-inch weeds are a code violation. We'd rather they never reach two.
Scottsdale's code enforcement guidance treats grass and weeds over six inches high as a violation, and it says desert landscaping should be kept free of grass and weeds. Dead, dry or bare dirt areas are on the list too, along with overgrown vegetation that blocks sidewalks, streets, alleys or rights-of-way. Property owners are also expected to maintain adjacent alleys and easements, which is easy to miss on large HOA and commercial sites with long back perimeters.
The city expects property to stay free of accumulated garbage, litter and debris, including landscape trimmings and construction materials, and pools free of stagnant water. Graffiti on walls, fences, light poles and utility boxes in the public right-of-way is removed by the city within 24 to 48 hours of a report to the Graffiti Hotline at 480-312-2546, and property owners who want removal also submit a Graffiti Waiver form. Our crews report graffiti and damage they spot the same day.
Many Scottsdale properties pair this with backflow repair in Scottsdale and landscape maintenance in Scottsdale, so one team handles the whole property.

Grounds Maintenance in Scottsdale: common questions
How tall can weeds get before Scottsdale considers it a violation?
Scottsdale's code enforcement guidance lists grass and weeds over six inches high as a violation, and desert landscaping should be kept free of grass and weeds altogether.
Do we have to maintain the alley behind our property?
Scottsdale expects property owners to maintain adjacent alleys and easements. We can add them to your grounds route so they're cleaned up with the rest of the property.
Who removes graffiti in Scottsdale?
The city removes graffiti in the public right-of-way within 24 to 48 hours of a report to its Graffiti Hotline, 480-312-2546. Property owners who want removal also submit a Graffiti Waiver form, and our crews flag new graffiti on regular visits.
