Red Shovel has done an amazing job for us. They xeriscaped our front yard in the fall and revitalized our backyard the following spring. The crew that did the backyard work (Craig, Nate, and Walter) did a better job than I would have done and in a fraction of the time. I think that they went the extra mile. They…

Red shovel, and specifically Julian Valenzuela and Josh Nelson, not only delivered but went way beyond expectations. They were always on time, responsive, super professional, and were able to adapt and quickly make changes when we needed them to. They're the best! Thank you both!

I had Victor, Andrew and Vincent out today to plant some Creosote bushes to wrap up a yard renovation. They were fantastic! They were very nice, quick, and tidy. After they finished the job they even rearranged/redistributed rocks around the front yard to cover the weed block fabric and even pulled a couple weeds. Great crew!

What a great crew. Aron, Preston and Julian showed up on time, working everyday for almost 2 weeks until the job was completed (it was a big job!). No delays, no excuses, they were very patient with my questions and requests. The finished landscape turned out even better than I expected! Thank you guys, and also to Chris at Red Shovel.

Red Shovel was great to work with. Very professional and hard working crew. Chris provided an accurate estimate. I haven’t seen 3 guys work harder. Jesus R., Victor P., and Daniel C. we’re on time and ready to work. They were polite and patient with me after I made some minor on the spot changes to my landscaping…

Red shovel was the second business we connected with to do the landscaping for our backyard, and it was nice dealing with a company that was responsive and communicated. Things happen so we expect that not all jobs will be on schedule but having no communication with your client when you never show up for a job for…

We went with Red Shovel after getting a few estimates for some backyard landscape work. I'll say that price-wise, they did come in a bit higher than the others, but we opted to go with them anyway because of all the positive reviews. I am happy to say that my wife and I are very pleased with that decision. The Red…
