In the Pacific Northwest we call blackberry bushes sticker bushes. There are companies that get rid of them. In the south there are "Star thistles." Their thorns are able to puncture tires on heavy machinery. Some get to the size of small trees. If you call a landscaping company they should be able to help you.

Tribulus terrestris is the scientific name for the plant. But I know here in Colorado they are often referred to as stickers, and goatheads.

Can you be a little more specific? Can you describe them just a bit, that might help in answering the question.

In Texas we call stickers grassburs. I think that sandburs is another name used by some.
I found this link.
