Same-Day Lawn Mowing & Yard Care in Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale is an eastern suburb of the Greater Phoenix Area, located in Maricopa County. It was named after Winfield Scott, to be discussed later, and was incorporated in the early fifties. At the time of the last population count in 2010, the population of Scottsdale rose from two thousand people at the time of incorporation to 236,839. In an article published in the New York Times, the downtown of Scottsdale has been described as a desert version of Miami’s South Beach. It refers to the burgeoning restaurants, hotels, and boutique shops that scatter the city, including an avenue for late-night partying and buzzing hotel scenes. Because of this description, it is no wonder that the slogan of Scottsdale is “The West’s Most Western Town.” 

In terms of the surrounding city, Scottsdale shares a few boundaries and borders with other entities around it, including Phoenix to the west, Paradise Valley, and a few territories of unincorporated land of Maricopa County. Carefree, Arizona lies along the western boundary, and Tonto National Forest lies to the north. Tempe lies just south of Scottsdale, along with the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, which lies to the east of Scottsdale. Also, Scottsdale is bordered by Fountain Hills and the McDowell Mountain Regional Park. Somehow, Scottsdale found itself situated in the middle of plenty of activity from the state, a tribute to its success as a community, and will continue to be one of its economic powers. The same Winfield Scott that the town was named after was an Army Chaplain when he walked through the area that would soon be Scottsdale. Seeing that it would be suitable for agriculture, he bought sixty acres and turned that into the town that it is today.
