We Think Your Grass Should Be Golf Course Gorgeous
Because if your lawn is gorgeous, you won’t have to work on it much. You’ll have more time to watch the kids run through the sprinklers,
more time to walk around barefoot,
and for other fun stuff…like your next barbecue.
When you fire up the grill, pop the top on a cold one, and your guests surprise you by skipping the hot dogs to stretch out on the grass.
You don’t want to be rude, but if everyone is hugging on the lawn, there won’t be any room to play volleyball and cornhole.
Still, when you have the most gorgeous lawn in the neighborhood, you ought to expect some admiration.
Get your lawn looking its best with Red Shovel Lawn Care.
Your Lawn Should Be The Envy Of The Neighborhood
Lawn Care Program
Includes 8 Applications and optional Aeration/Overseeding.
Seasonal Applications
Fertilization
Weed Control (Post & Pre Emergent)
Pest Prevention (Insect Prevention and Treatment)
Soil Conditioning & Growth Regulation
Water Retention and Drought Endurance
This 8-round multi-season program keeps your lawn lush, green, and free of insects and weeds throughout the year.
We wake your lawn from its winter hibernation with an initial feeding of iron and other micro-nutrients to strengthen the roots. Then we blanket it with a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weeds from getting started.
In the Spring we kickstart grass growth with granular fertilizer. Then we lay down another blanket of pre-emergent herbicide to deter weeds.
We apply humic acids to promote healthy soil and help green your lawn.
When temperatures warm and insects become active, we apply a granular insecticide to thwart them and keep them away.
We add materials to reduce high PH levels common to the soil in Albuquerque. This promotes a healthy lawn while adding more micro-nutrients.
We continue adjusting soil PH levels to promote a healthy, green lawn and apply a foliar spray for weed prevention.
We apply a balanced fertilizer with micronutrients like iron to strengthen roots and promote lush green growth.
We stimulate the root system with high nitrogen fertilizer to continue healthy growth.
We punch ten thousand small holes in the surface of the lawn to loosen the soil so water and nutrients easily reach the roots. This makes each blade stronger, healthier, and more drought-resistant.
This is sometimes needed to fill excessive bare spots and thicken the lawn.

What You Need to Do
- Keep grass 3 – 4 inches high. This is especially important in the summer. Maintaining the proper height keeps the lawn healthy and thick.
- At the end of the year cut grass to a height of 2 inches for overwintering.
- Keep mower blades clean and sharp and replace them as needed. This is important to avoid damaging the grass with dull blades that cut unevenly and yank the roots.
We provide a recommended schedule based on the season and temperatures to provide your lawn with the ideal amount of water.
Sometimes lawns develop health problems just like people do. Fortunately, We excel at recovering problem lawns. But it’s important to understand that the recovery time depends on the lawn’s condition.
