Landscaping reviews in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Edit for January 2026 - Marshall G, Ernesto, Elk and Kay did such an amazing job on our backyard landscaping. Chris D created a beautiful landscape design with us, and worked with us every step of the way. The crew was punctual, friendly and professional and they left no stone unturned (literally!). Our new walking path, trees, irrigation system and plants are so beautiful and truly make our backyard an oasis. I am always impressed with Red Shovel Landscaping!

Original Review -
Marshall and the team are awesome!!!! He, Seth and Sab were so punctual and professional. They left the yard completely spotless during our fall cleanup and took very good care to make sure everything looked nice. I am so impressed with Red Shovel Landscaping and will definitely continue using their services.

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.

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 amazed that all the work they did was exactly what we wanted. They completed the job much more quickly than we anticipated and not only did a thorough cleanup, but they hauled everything away. I have no hesitation in using them in the future.

I contacted red shovel and they were able to come out next day to prune trim my tree. David M, Hunter, Carson did an outstanding job. They insured the work was done, exactly as I requested, and checked with me to verify as they worked. I am so glad that I heard the commercial on TV since I’ve tried other tree companies and have not had such a positive experience. I will definitely reach out next time I need pruning and trimming.

Had Red Shovel clean our front yard area prior to having them, in a few eeks, redesign and construct our new landscaping. The team you sent (David M.,Leo, and Edward) did a great job on a yard that hadnt been maintained in years. They showed up EARLY, and did a great job! Wont even consider any other landscape firm in the future

Red Shovel did a fantastic job with our yard.
We had several damaged trees that needed to be removed. The process of getting the quote was very easy and not pressuring.
Marshall, Herbert, Johnathan, David M, Devin & Edward did a wonderful job and were very fast and thorough.

Receptionists ( S) was very professional and explained everything on the phone to me to make sure I was scheduled the service that I needed. Got me on the schedule fairly quickly , which I appreciated.
I liked the reminders of the appointment on text and email and the ease of contacting Ref Shovel.
Hakeem gave me a call this morning that him and the crew were on their way.
Hakeem, Carson, Jasper, Keegan, Nick, and Miguel were all very professional and respectful.
I have 1.35 acres out in the mountains and with the rains there is overwhelming overgrowth that I couldn’t keep up with.
These gentlemen are all very hard working, respectful, and are worth every cent due to them doing an exceptional, very thorough job. They also cleaned up after themselves throughout the entire process.
I look forward to continuing to work with this company.
Thank you!

They never called back!

Had a fabulous experience they did an excellent job . They were clean, professional and did great work . I am very pleased and extremely satisfied.

They did a great job in our front yard. Very professional, polite employees....both office and field staff. Jack is very helpful and knowledgeable. Fast, Clean....job well done.

The guy who came out to trim my shrubs was punctual, fast, and friendly. Totally worth it! Will definitely use them again if I need landscaping service in the future.

I made an appointment 2+ weeks ago and the day of service less than an hour before my appointment LaBarge called to tell me they did not do the work I had scheduled them to do. I wanted work completed on an indoor water feature and was told they did not do this type of work. If they had told me this originally I would have not wasted 2+ weeks of my time waiting for them. Very frustrating!

Company did an amazing job, love my new back yard! Super helpful and very knowledgable about the unique design needs of the area. Definitely recommend, top quality work. Thank you!

LaBarge created exactly what I asked for and did a beautiful job - for the hefty scope of work, it was competitive with other quotes I received and done in a timely manner; for any minor issues that came up, Jack was responsive and addressed any concerns immediately. I would use LaBarge again in the future. Thank you Jack!

La Barge landscape has taken care of multiple properties for many years for me and my company.
Martine is always, kind, professional and makes sure everything is done to the satisfaction of his clients.
I appreciate the wonderful work they do and highly recommend them.

La Barge Landscaping cleared both my back yard and front yard from an extensive amount of weeds. I was very pleased. They were very thorough. I will definitely rely on their service when the need arises.

Not only was I dangerously cut off (this truck turned directly in front of my vehicle while I had the right of way and almost caused me to smash into the side at a decent rate of speed), the driver then threw his hands in the air, cussing me out and gave me the finger. While representing your brand. University Blvd SE and Menaul Blvd 6/21/23 at 7:30am. I don’t know where this driver learned to drive but fully cutting a vehicle off to turn left with expensive and heavy construction equipment is not a great example of the business. I would advise others that their behavior is risky/dangerous and I’m sure there are better, more safe landscaping companies here in the burque. Stay away, these drivers are dangerous and aggressive

Edit upon review of my photos he gave me the finger not once, but twice! Nice business you’ve got!

We had La Barge fix our very old leaky sprinkler system when we moved into our new home last winter. We didn't notice until this sprong that it was leaking. We called them up and they were back in a flash, dug up the whole shebang and fixed it in a flash. No extra charges.

Rare to find articulate, attentive folks in the landscaping business - would absolutely recommend La Barge.

I just moved into a new home and needing backyard landscaping done. I had several bids and La Barge was reasonable. Their work was professional and the work came out great. We are really satisfied. I would recommend them.

Martin and Manuel came out and worked together to fix my drip lines and do yard clean up. La Barge continues to be the gold standard for landscaping services here in ABQ. Their employees are courteous, professional and EXTREMELY hard working folks. Martin and Manuel absolutely busted their butts and got the job done quickly. Hats off to them. I’ll definitely hire La Barge landscaping again!

The LaBarge crew arrived on time and did a great job building my retaining wall. No voice mail waiting a day or two for them to get back to you. Jack Lantry, Ashley, Ruth and the crew are a pleasure to do your landscaping work.
