David quoted reasonable prices for the cactus removal, tree cutting, and general lawn maintenance. He, Leo, and Jasper worked quickly, efficiently, and with no issues. Highly recommended. (Thanks, guys!)
Thank you, Red Shovel, for providing excellent service from start to finish. David M's crew (Leo, Joseph, Antonio, Hakeem, Sam M., & Ed) were all friendly and fabulous to work with. I had a list of groundskeeping tasks -- including the removal of cactus -- and they handled everything quickly, efficiently, and with…
Gilbert has provided outstanding service in developing and providing an plan for our landscaping needs. He has been professional and thorough.
Diego and Isaiah are a fantastic team! They are attentive and easy to work with. They both accept feedback well and they make sure we are pleased before they leave. My wife and I are are so happy we opened our Red Shovel account!
Crew showed up early and got done everything I had asked for.
Yesterday was the second time I had Red Shovel out to work on the yard and all I have to say is it was outstanding.Everything came together with the attention to detail and hard work of David M, Leo and Joseph. They went beyond what I had expected. I''ve been so happy that I chose this company to take care of my landscaping needs.
Excellent experience, the Team of: David, Leo and Joseph were professional and really cared about making my yard look its best! I highly recommend them!
Great service and an excellent result by David M, Leo, and Joseph on a yard cleanup and tree removal!
Scheduled yard cleaning service. Red Shovel was prompt and professional getting me scheduled for an appointment, got a quote on the spot, and they did the work same-day. David M, Leo, Joseph, Hakeem, Joe, and Edward were great. Yard looks better than it ever has, I’d use them again for sure
They were amazing, Kevin and the crew were very pleasant and kind! They were amazing and I'm so happy with my decision. They definitely exceeded my expectations! I will be using them again in the future!! New service 4/7 We did the discount weed control program that was offered with the clean up service! The…
The crew with hakeem did an absolute amazing job. We are very impressed.
David, Leo, Edward were great! Beautiful work!
Tony called ahead and arrived ready to go. He’s familiar with my property, which makes everything seamless. He came in, completed the job efficiently, gave us clear watering instructions, and was on his way. Scheduling was easy, communication was solid, and they performed remarkably. Looking forward to greener grass this year.
Hardworking crew and very knowledgeable!
Don't waste your money on this service - just buy a blower and do it yourself - since they will send an unskilled person to blow your yard and leave a mess.
Hakeem, Miguel, and Jasper came over to trim a bunch of bushes in our front yard that had overgrown over the years. They did an amazing job and let me know as to why the bushes shouldn’t be trimmed too small. I’ve used Red Shovel since 2024 and have been very satisfied with their service!
The team of David M, Leo, & Edward did a fabulous job of cleaning out all the leaves & miscellaneous debris in preparation for when the pre-emergent will be sprayed. The guys also trimmed tree branches & bushes too. They arrived on time and did a thorough job. Thank you Red Shovel for sending out a great team to take care of our yard! 👍
David and his crew did an excellent job trimming our trees, removing all the fallen leaves and trimming our bushes. They showed up as scheduled and provided a reasonable price.
David M, Leo, Alan and Edward are very professional and did a wonderful, clean job with our yard!
We moved to a home with a very neglected yard. I was very happy with previous service from Red Shovel, so I made an appointment with them for an overhaul of our overgrown mess. The team David M, Carson, Ed, Hakeem, Hunter, Jasper and Jose went to work and after few hours we now have a beautiful yard. David really…
I am so pleased with Red Shovel for a fantastic pruning and fall cleanup for my property. David Martin and his crew, (Leo & Hunter I think) were excellent! David provided an estimate, which we approved, and they got to work immediately. They were all so professional, efficient and thorough; my husband and I were…
David M & crew did excellent work for the quoted price
David, Edward and Seth did a tremendous job, first removing some bushes and then trimming and cleaning up the rest of my front and back yard. One slight snafu was later quickly repaired and my yard hasn't looked this good in quite a while. Hope to have them back in the spring.
Joseph and Jonathan are fabulous! They take ownership and pride in their work and it shows! We are so happy to have these two dedicated individuals taking care of our yard!
My yard has never looked better. Joseph Sanchez and Johnathon are so professional and through! Most importantly so friendly and respectful. Thank you so much for making home look so good!
David M & crew showed up at the house ready to work. They did a great job trimming my hedges, pruning shrubs, pulling weeds and various other yard clean up tasks in a very timely manner. All the guys seemed to be enjoying their job as they worked. Thank you
Do not use this company. After way over charging for services they claim were needed they still failed to actually pull all of the weeds, left debris in my front yard and left tools and a trash can in my yard.
Prompt and professional service. Within 24 hours of submitting web inquiry, I got a call back and had technician on site within 48 hours for free estimate. Services a bit pricey, but technician was able to work within my budget. Crew was professional, friendly, and did great work, performing all services agreed upon in a high quality manner.
Worked with Marshall and Michael who were very professional; they sent me before and after pictures and were able to make changes so everything looked perfect. Thank you!
Found out about Red Shovel on Nextdoor. Contacted them to fix our weed disaster of a yard. Communication was excellent. Day of service they were actually early. The 3-man team of Marshall, Pierce, and Gordon did a terrific job. Weeds are gone, tree and shrubs trimmed and shaped. The yard looks so much better. Will hire again.
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…
David M., Junior, and Marquez all did outstanding work and each of them deserve the $20.00 tip and a raise.
David M, Marlon, and John did great clean up work.
Anfernie and Elk are the best!! My yard has never looked better. They were able to accommodate my schedule and were here on time. I will definitely use this service again in the future!!
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!
Anfgrnie and Elk were very efficient and fast with my yard clean up. Highly recommend Red Shovel for any landscaping needs.
Andrew and Victor P did a great job. They removed dead bushes and a tree from my yard and it looks like they were never there. They were very professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend them for your yard work needs.
Andrew and Victor arrived timely and were very professional. They asked clarifying questions to make sure the job was completed thoroughly. They were very friendly and finished everything we had asked them to do. Thank you.
Andrew, Marlon, and Josh did great work for me in a short amount of time. Very friendly guys. Efficient, quality work. Nice to work with.
Red Shovel redeemed our experience with landscapers! We have been super burned in the past but from the moment I called, it was a great expereince. They scheduled me extremely quickly, were prompt, completed the job efficiently, and spent quality time doing it. Not rushed and not wasteful. Andrew and his crew…
