  Red Shovel was great to work with. Chris came out and was very helpful making suggestions about our basic design. His scheduling for our project was accurate and his he estimated completion time was right on. Michael G. Steven G. and Jerome showed up every morning and worked really hard. Their workmanship was amazing. They did an amazing job laying flagstone walkways, especially the stairs. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to friends and family. They were so friendly and genuinely took pride in their work. The whole experience was a pleasure. Jennifer O.

  I was very excited to use red shovel because they had wonderful online reviews. The wait time for a quote and service was very long. The quoted price for my irrigation installation was a little above average from the other quotes I got but I chose red shovel because of their reviews. Josh and Brandon were sent out to do the entire job. The quote was for 3 days and it took double this. When the men arrived, they were expecting to only do 600 sqft but my quote was for 1600 sqft. One worker, Josh, was very aggressive about the miscommunication but after calling Chris things were straightened out and they began working. I was outside doing work for a good portion of time while the men were there. Josh complained quite a bit about the job, the miscommunication, and the company in general. After I left, I was told that Josh was taking to my electrician about me. The entire experience wirh Josh was very unprofessional. Now let's talk about the work that was done. Awful. The men didn't grade the ground nor did they set up lines to align and level the sprinkler heads. The heads were tilted, not set up in straight lines, set to different heights, and there was even one head missing. To top it off, they installed 4 rows instead of the agreed upon 3 rows, I still don't understand why they did this. The manifold was not installed where I wanted it. I'd imagine it was because the men didn't want to finish digging up a yucca root. The manifold was installed tilted and crooked. The wiring was an awful mess. One shut off valve was installed in the middle of a walk way. The plastic housing for the wiring has a huge hole in it so dirt and sand keeps pushing into the wiring area. They tried covering the hole with cardboard. The cardboard quickly got wet and was pushed out of the way. The manifold was even leaking. I've had to ask red shovel to send people back to make fixes several times. When other workers came out to make fixes, they seemed amazed at the terrible work that was done at the property. Twice I had to call to have them fix the alignment and height of the heads, and now I'm waiting to have the wiring fixed because some heads water constantly while other heads don't run at all. Personally, I wouldn't recommend using red shovel. Terribly over priced for the quality of work.

  I had a complete overhaul of my entire property done by Aarron, Hakeem, Nathan, and Andrew. They showed up right on time and these guys did some WORK, let me tell you! They pulled weeds, trimmed a TON of bushes/vines/trees, mowed, edged, blew leaves/debris, tore out some vegetation, and took down an entire pine tree. You can't even tell a big pine tree was even there, there did such a great job removing it and the stump. My property looks AMAZING! They even rolled all my hoses up for me and left them in a nice pile. Seriously, I almost cried when I saw how great everything looked. I have a sizable yard, so it was quite the task, but they got everything I asked for taken care of and more. The price was incredibly reasonable. They did all that work (including the tree removal) from 9am to 4pm for a total of $2400. I felt like that was a steal for all the work they did, considering $1k was just for the tree removal. I know a lot of places charge $3-5k for a single tree removal. I can't wait for Red Shovel to do my yard maintenance come this spring and summer so my property can keep looking this lovely.
