They primarily did landscaping clean ups at my boss' ABQ home, but also removed a small tree and a couple of dying bushes. There were a couple of times when my boss was away, and Carlos noticed something amiss. He called me promptly and was more than willing to assist to make sure everything remained tidy, safe, and welcoming when the house was unoccupied. Always on time, reasonably priced, and willing to go the extra mile, this team can't be beat.

Unfortunately, my experience with Red Shovel has been extremely frustrating. There has been a…read moreconsistent lack of communication, follow-through, and attention to our lawn. They required us to install a Rain Bird controller. The first attempt took three hours of my day and they were unable to get it installed. During that visit, we discussed the grubs in our lawn, and I was told the office would be notified so they could schedule treatment. That never happened. I had to follow up myself. We had also specifically discussed the weeds in our grass during the original estimate. They came out and treated for weeds but didn't treat the actual lawn. When they finally came back for the grub treatment, the technician immediately said he didn't think we had grubs without even inspecting the lawn. I had literally pulled a grub out of the grass the day before. We were also told by the office that it could take up to a YEAR to get rid of grubs. The second Rain Bird installation took another three hours of my day. They left white paint on my driveway, and about an hour after leaving, the technician called to say there was an issue with the rain gauge and asked me to unplug it. I told him I wasn't home and specifically asked if it was urgent. He said it could wait. When I got home a few hours later, my yard was flooded and water was pouring from our well because a pipe had burst. The final straw was when they aerated our lawn while it was completely saturated after extensive rain. Their equipment tore up multiple areas of our yard. I sent pictures and asked them to come look at the damage, and they refused, telling me what happened was "normal." I understand that problems can happen. What I don't understand is the repeated lack of follow-through and the unwillingness to even come look when a customer says there is a problem. I've spent hours dealing with appointments, following up on services that weren't completed, and addressing issues that shouldn't have happened in the first place. We hired Red Shovel to take care of our lawn. Unfortunately, our experience has been the exact opposite, and I would not recommend them based on the service we received.

Baca did an amazing job removing a large 75 year old tree in a tight place. The crew arrived…read morepromptly at 7:00 and began removal. Because the tree was between two structures they had to use a crane to remove the large branches and place them in the street for limbing and bucking before the wood was shredded. I was a sawyer for the Forest Service and it was a pleasure watching these pros take the tree down. The crew was done by 3:00 which included stump removal 6" below grade.They replaced the landscape gravel, cleaned up the area in both the back and front. You can not tell that there was ever a tree or that the crew had been there. Highly recommend!

She took no measurements or notes but told me she would get back to me in a week with a plan and a quote.

They came to our house 2-years ago. Rheagan from Urban Earth handled a xeriscape project for us in…read moreour backyard. The yard was completely empty and we had the whole thing done, including irrigation. They did a nice job and I like how it looks now. A couple things that were an issue. One is that they planted trees too close to each other, not allowing for room to grow. I feel that could have been planned better. After only 2 years I'm going to need to have them moved. But the more troublesome issue was the follow up after the project. I called and emailed Rhegan multiple times. I had to keep contacting her because she wasn't responding. My concerns were, one, they were supposed to take some items that needed to be hauled away after the project, but they got left. When I called she said she'd send someone out to get them. After nobody came after a month and two promises, I had another company come haul it. Second. Their equipment dug up our front yard. They never attempted to fix it until I ended up asking if they were going to. This time someone did come back, but the rock they put in was a different color then what was there. So now we have two different color rock in our front yard. When I told Rhegan, she again didn't offer to fix it, just ignored my complaint. 3rd. We had one plant die. I got ahold of her and she said send a picture and they'd replace it... I sent the picture, but again, no response, so it never got replaced. If anyone wants to see the yard, you'll see it still has different color rock in the front (they didn't even plant anything there, they just hauled rock to the back). The dead plant is still dead. But you can look at the backyard and see that it looks nice. Crowded, but nice. Again, I like my yard, they did well, but just make sure to get everything taken care of before you make the final payment. As you may be able to tell, I'm not comfortable with conflict, so I finally just let it go. But be prepared, just in case.

They told us they would be here yesterday around 2 but would call to let us know when they were headed our direction. We never received a phone call nor did anyone show up.

The crew are certified arborists, educated and knowledgeable about trees. They disinfected their saws and pruners between cuts so nothing would be spread through the tree. They carefully protected surrounding plants; they replaced anything they moved, swept up every twig, and left my property clean. I have not been bribed to write this review :-) I was truly impressed.
