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!

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 asked Red Shovel to renovate our back yard. Michael Garcia and his crew (Steven, Nathan, Walter, Manuel, Andrew and Craig) did a fantastic job with demolition, laying a new patio, installing irrigation and grass. We are delighted with the quality of craftsmanship demonstrated in the hardscape. The crew was…

I cannot recommend Red Shovel Landscaping highly enough. Chris Dibble worked with us to identify our wants and needs, and to develop a design. A few days after making my deposit for the landscaping work, and after another local landscaping company failed to perform, Red Shovel had full crews out for over two…

ETA: We had a minor issue with our lawn. I called this morning, and Brandon and Josh came out the same day to fix it. They even went over how I've been caring for my lawn to make sure there were no points they needed to hit on. Red Shovel and its employees are wonderful. My yard went from a dust bowl to a green…

July 2021 Red Shovel completely redid the landscaping in my backyard. My two dogs destroyed the grass. I had Red Shovel replace all old grass and old iris beds with new gravel, new artificial turf, and new plants. The work was completed in a timely fashion and to my satisfaction. Thanks to Anthony, Miguel, Brandon,…
