Red Shovel Landscape for weed control

Marshal, David, Leo, Joseph and Sab did such a remarkable job in both the front and backyard. I have a large property that after the rains had become full of weeds, trees and shrubs were overgrown and I was overwhelmed with even the thought of mowing with such a mess. They cleaned it up so beautiful, I will…
We needed extensive weed pulling and landscape cleanup of our property in Placitas. To say there were a lot of tumbleweeds would be an understatement. The Red Shovel team of Marshall, Sebastian, and Seth did an amazing job! They really exceeded all of our expectations. Cannot recommend Red Shovel Landscape enough! Thank you Marshall, Sebastian, and Seth!
David M., Leo, Joseph, Marshall, and Seth all did a great job cleaning up my yard. They were friendly, professional, and worked quickly.
David M., Leo and Joseph were professional, courteous and hard working. They did a great job cleaning my property and cleaning up the weeds. Extremely happy.
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.
Thank you so much David M., Leo and Joseph. Great service and amazing results.
Red Shovel handled my irrigation system, tree and shrub trimming and general yard clean up. Caruth, Marlon and Camlan were on time, did a fabulous job and were extremely professional. I would absolutely recommend Red Shovel for all your yard needs including weed spraying. Happy customer. Plus they have a new…
We got overwhelmed with weeds in our yard and were so happy to find a service to help us. David M, Leo, and Joseph did a great job clearing the weeds. They were very conscientious to take care to not remove our wildflowers and to only get the weeds.
Gilbert Calderon came out and gave us an estimate for the work we want. He was on time, polite, professional, and very thorough. Marshall Sebay and his crew did a yard clean up and we are very impressed with their work. Everything looks so much better and it is such a relief to have people who know what they're doing.
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
Your guys did an excellent job for me and my Puppies. Weed removal and general cleanup. David M. ,Leo, & Joseph
Red Shovel came out and cleaned up the front and backyard. David, Leo and Jasso did an amazing job! I’m so happy with the outcome and I can see my front porch. Thank you!
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…
Great Weed Control Work by David Martin, Leo, and Hunter. Thanks!
We had the weed prevention treatment on our own home and four rental homes. It has only been maybe three weeks so we are not able to comment on the efficacy quite yet, though it is mostly looking very good. However, the level of service and responsiveness has been superior. Tony, the gentleman performing our…
They did a fantastic job and I'm already looking to schedule more services from them.
Tony U did a great job, hopefullyIt will get all the weeds? thx
Tony Venezuela was very professional and pleasant. He did a great job!
Very professional and attentive to our questions! Very friendly and personable! Tony C. came.
Tony C was awesome! Thank you!
Tony did a great job. He called to let me know he was on his way. He was prompt, courteous, and efficient.
We’ve used Red Shovel Landscaping for the past two years and we couldn’t be happier about the service they provide!!! Great employees, from the scheduler to the technicians who did the spraying & yard cleanup! Professional & friendly people who provide great customer service and support!
I called Red Shovel Landscaping because they were recommended to me by another landscaping company who did not do yard clean up. The lady I spoke with on the phone (I'm sorry I did not get her name) was friendly and professional. She explained their services and fees clearly and concisely, and we set up a time for…
David M, Leo and Hunter were all so amazing! I was a move up appointment and had a lot for the team to clean up. David and his team showed up and were so professional and great. My yard looks great! Thank you!
David is a master of his craft. I am thrilled with the way my yard looks.
I don't think Red Shovel needs any more reviews to prove how amazing they are, but I wanted to emphasize how great they are to work with. I have had other contractors do similar work for me, but everyone I have interacted with from Red Shovel has been kind and professional. A special thanks to Gilbert Calderon for…
We had a limited budget for our yard and they were able to accommodate us with what we could afford! They were able to modify their services to exactly what we needed. We had David M and Edward and they were very quick!
Yes, they were a little pricey but it had a huge problem do to my ignoring it for way too long. They had a second crew free in the afternoon and ended up being able to finish in one day.. thank you, David and crew! On time and a great job.
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
We had them out for a one time yard cleanup. Our front was full of weeds, leaves, some plants we wanted removed, etc... they did an amazing job on the same day we called them.
Blown away by the quality job, price point, and customer service David M, Leo, and Edward provided. If you're thinking about getting yard work done, go to these guys.
David M., Leo and Edward did the most amazing work on our yard! The price was great and the work was fast and efficient. Team was friendly and could not have done a better job! Will absolutely be calling red shovel again!!!
Update 8/20/25: Had David M. and his crew come out for our 3rd visit. As usual, they were on time and the yard looks stunning. They pulled all weeds, took out some elm trees, trimmed my pyracantha and various other shrubs and bushes, and cleaned up my lawns. My nearby neighbors have already come by asking who did…
Professional and polite service. Same day service and on time. Just a bit expensive in my opinion.
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!!
Andrew and Victor did an amazing job. I had not kept up with maintenance of my yard. I was overwhelmed with anxiety when I tried to do it myself. I would recommend Red Shovel and Andrew and Victor. Thank you!
