Only one person came out and did that work, but I have a contract with them and when they come out to work on the landscaping, three or four people come. I have 3 acres. When they came last spring there were three or four people. I'm waiting to see how they do this year. I was pretty unhappy with the last service company I used. They just kept getting worse and worse and eventually I had to fire them.
Description of Work: They do landscaping and lawn service for me. They just came and fertilized the grass and did pre-emergence prep. All that good stuff.

They did exactly what I wanted to do. If they didn't get it right, I called them and they came back out and took care of it. I still use them and have a contract with them. They fertilize the yard, the grass cutting I do myself. I couldn't tell you how much I pay, but mine would be way out of whack for everybody else because I'm sitting on 3 acres. So, any price I put down would be way off. It would just scare people off. Just the grass area alone that they treat is larger than most lots and that's just a part of my property. Normally one person comes out to treat the grass, but when they work on the landscaping, it's two or three people. It takes them a good 45 minutes to fertilize and such.
Description of Work: They did my landscaping and they service the yard. I have a contract with them. They put in flowers and sprinkler systems. They changed out the flowerbeds to a drip system and spray nozzles, they put in new plants and everything, and fixed some other sprinkler heads for me that were having problems.

I loved everything about them. It looks really great, and it has a water feature. I had to spend quite a bit for it. They were very professional, and they did everything they promised. They showed up when they were supposed to, and what I liked most about them was that their crew was very respectful of my property and also the way the prepared the ground before they put in the new product was absolutely excellent and that’s why I like them. They did a lot of ground preparation that I don’t think a lot of others would do. It was a wonderful experience from the designing to everything.
Description of Work: I used Covington's Nursery for landscaping services. They redid all of my front and created new back landscaping with flower beds, trees and they designed it as well.

I liked everything that they did and the workers were wonderful. Their price was high but the quality of the work was excellent. They also gave me a warranty. If the plants don't make it for a year, they will replace them.

We have a two or three year deal with them and they have been fine. They came out and did the work in stages. Most of the work is still left and we have stayed with them. I would tell people that they can depend on them. They are not the cheapest, but they are pretty good.

The entire experience was a positive one-from going to the nursery and meeting with their designer-to having the workmen come to the house-to enjoying the completed landscape changes. The crew was fast, courteous and professional. The amount of work they did for the price was certainly worth it. I will use them again!
Description of Work: They came to my house and removed a twenty year old flower bed along two sides of my house. They dug out the approximately twenty climbing roses that were in the bed. Then, they planted new shrubs in several other locations in the lawn, and another 50 foot flowerbed. The designer helped me select the shrubs I put in. The changes to my landscape looked very nice, and have lasted really well.

I met with Lee, one of the landscape architects and consulted with him on my landscape plans. He was able to advise me on tree selection (steering me away from Bradford pears, for instance, as well as nixing red-tipped photinias for shrubs). He walked me through the nursery and we selected trees. He then met with me at home and we staked the tree locations and laid out and marked the beds in the back. We scheduled another time for the tree planting after removal by a third party, including cutting down the trees and removing the stumps. On that date, Lee and his crew installed and staked the new trees and instructed me on care and feeding. The trees have flourished and I am very happy with them.
Description of Work: Delivered and installed 4 large balled and burlapped trees. Installed green steel bed edging for back yard flowerbeds, tilled, enriched and mulched beds.

I've always been very happy working with the people at this store. They will take as much time as is necessary to explain the right plants for the application. Quite knowledgeable, very pleasant. I always check them out when I'm shopping for something. Purchase was approx. $750.

THE FOLKS AT COVINGTON'S WERE VERY HELPFUL, DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, AND OFFERED SIMPLE SOLUTIONS. WE PURCHASED THE TREE FROM COVINGTON'S TWO YEARS AGO ($700). COVINGTON'S WORKERS DELIVERED THE TREE, PLANTED IT WHERE WE REQUESTED, BEING CAREFUL TO AVOID UNDERGROUND SPRINKLER SYSTEM LINES. VERY GOOD, COMPETENT WORK. THE TREE WAS PURCHASED BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS FROM EMPLOYEES AT COVINGTON'S.
