Reviews of local pros in Covington, Georgia

I’ve used Blake and his team a few times over the years and I definitely know who I can count on. Blake was very professional, hardworking and knowledgeable. Their work never fails to amaze me.

Blake was excellent to work with! His hardscape and landscape designs were wonderful. He listened to what I was looking for and provided the beautiful garden I dreamed of. Blake incorporated last minute requests without blinking an eye and had great suggestions and did little extras he saw fit. I would definitely use Covington Landscaping/ Blake again!

I highly recommend Blake and his team. His communication was outstanding and he was able to get our project scheduled extremely quickly. On the day our sod was installed, his team was extremely professional and had the job finished in no time. Now my backyard looks like a fairway! The pricing was more than fair. I would definitely use Covington Landscaping again.

Blake does an outstanding job breaking things down and offering solutions to issues that helped save us money. Put in 10 pallets of sod, 8 Green giant privacy trees, and a great looking river birch in our back yard at an outstanding price. I will be a repeat customer and will highly recommend this company to anyone. Great communication and personable.

Blake and his team were amazing to deal with. They delivered and installed 22 green giant thujas, and we couldn't be happier with the result. A very honest and trustworthy landscaping/tree source, and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

Very professional, delivered as promised! Great trees! I will be returning! 10 thumbs up! You won't be disappoBlake! Thanks blake!

I’ve been contemplating sodding our yard since the temps have gotten warmer and started looking for crews a couple months back. Blake and Covington Landscaping were above the rest with customer service, communication, prices, and dependability. Him and his crew prepped my yard, installed 8 pallets of Emerald Zoysia, and even watered it when they were through all in 1 day!! I would highly recommend Blake to anyone. Great customer service and prices!

After reading all the reviews, I called Blake for a quote to sod my back yard. Blake was very responsive, came out and provided a quote. This was back in the fall. For about four weeks Blake maintained contact by telling me sod availability was an issue and that the weather too was making it difficult to get sod. I assured him that if it couldn’t be done in the fall that I’d have no problem waiting until the spring. He assured me the following week we’d have sod and another week came and went and no word from Blake. Spring came and I decided to give Blake another try and he responded right away. He said he remembered me and that he’d like to come back out and look at the property again, that he’d be in touch to set up a time. A week went with no word from Blake before I decided to reach back out to him. I left him a message to set up a time and never heard from him again. It was disappointing to say the least to have someone string you along with the assumption he was interested in helping me out. Why take the call at all or why not be honest to say he couldn’t do the job at all. My job was small and perhaps he had bigger jobs pending, but in this case be honest to say just that. Don’t string customers along by misleading them to believe you can take the job or that you are working on getting it done. It’s great to see others have rated you 5 stars, and this is why I went to you, but others also need to be aware you’re not always honest with what you say you can deliver or offer. You came across energetic and willing to accept the job, only to not come through at all without so much as a call back.

This company was recommended to my wife and I by a coworker, and we have nothing but great things to say! Blake is incredibly professional and goes above and beyond. He does a lot of big, commercial work but was equally invested in our smaller, residential project. He was always on time when he came by our house, and he came prepared with ideas and advice for our yard. It’s obvious that he loves what he does, and he is very knowledgeable about the different plants and landscaping in general. He worked with us on the price and timeline, which we really appreciated. Finally, he has a huge variety of trees and shrubs to choose from! When it was time for our second project, we immediately contacted Blake again and did not bother shopping around like we did the first time. We will continue to be repeat customers and highly recommend Covington Landscaping.

After spending $4000 on 5 Green Giant Arborvitae privacy trees 2 months ago, two of the trees are dead and the other 3 are failing. The company that installed them won't stand behind them even after I hired two separate independent Arborists, both stating the trees were planted way too deep to survive - covering bottom branches, the burlap and metal rings were left fully on the root balls (not even pulled back), no stakes, no backfill or soil, improper watering guidelines - literally just dropped in the holes and the list goes on. The Arborists letters state the trees didnt stand a chance the way they were put in. I just invested more money to try and save the three struggling. Blake Wilbanks is the name of the installer/owner. After doing some research I learned he hides behind FOUR different company names: Georgia Tree Farm, Athens Tree Farm, Covington Landscaping and Georgia Landscaping Network. I am filing a BBB report against Georgia Landscaping Network as it is the only one of the four listed on BBB. (Not accredited I might add) I wanted to warn others about my experience with Blake Wilbanks. I truly blame myself for not doing my own research on him before he started. The lack of customer service from Blake after the install is what is beyond appalling & so...I wanted to let others know to double check your new trees if you've used him or any of his companies and if you haven't used him, probably don't. Headed to court as he is unresponsive.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️FIVE STARS BY ALL MEANINGS:

I have been doing business with Blake for over 15 years now and he is as good as they come. He is honest, fair and works hard to educate customers on the after installation care of their new plants and sod. He is responsive, timely and professional, always.

I reached out to Blake with the hopes of completing the sodding of our backyard following a very frustrating situation with a different company. Blake was very generous and worked to get us a good price since we had already spent a good amount of money on the project. His team was very professional. They did a fantastic job laying the sod and even took the time to water it for us before rolling it! We had some sod leftover, so they contacted me to figure out where we wanted the rest of it to be installed. Blake’s team made sure to clean off our sidewalk and driveway where any grass or dirt had fallen before they left. We will be contacting Blake for all of our future landscaping projects!

Blake was very knowledgeable about the type of trees I needed per the city arborist requirements. He and his crew delivered and installed 3 trees and we were able to move on to the next job to complete our home.

First time using this company, and this is who I will be calling with any other AC issues. Timely, professional, affordable. Torin was great. Thank you!!

The guys and gals over here inspected on Monday and I was installed by Thursday afternoon. Excellent punctuality and professionalism. Thanks Torin and Tiffany.
