Landscaping reviews in Marietta, Georgia

C&M replaced my front porch and did a great job despite cold and rain.

C&M did excellent work and was very responsive. I would definitely use them again.

Good service provider and family business who know how to take care of customers. Expertise in sink hole remediation and OSP construction (residential & commercial). I also use them for ongoing landscape maintenance.

I was impressed with Michael's knowledge and his employees. Everything he told me during the proposal walk through of my property, is what happened.

We have used C&M several times over the years at 2 different homes. Excellent work and the job is planned and done right.

We have the guys at C&M come twice a year to help with the yard getting all the hard stuff my wife and I cant do due to physical limitations, and they do an excellent job every time.

I wouldn't use any other company for my landscaping then these guys. After calling so many landscapers who would never call me back or anything they did. These people at this company are very informational and gave ideas that would benefit my yard! Thank you so much for everything!!!

Michael gave a very thorough, accurate and informative estimate of the problem (sinkhole) and the price for the remedy was very fair. The work was done professionally and timely. The estimate was accurate.

C&M and Michael Staley have been amazing with helping me deal with a extremely unique sinkhole situation. Reach out to them if you ever run into a sinkhole on your property!

I called to request a quote today. It took ~15 minutes to explain what I was interested in getting done at my house, which seemed a bit over the top. Nonetheless, after explaining the services we wanted, we began to search for dates to have someone come out and provide an estimate. The person on the line suggested several dates that unfortunately did not work for us and we ended up about 2 weeks out from today. Ordinarily, this would not have been a problem except that we have other companies coming out to provide a bid and I was very transparent in stating that I worried that going so far out would prevent CM from being included in our decision process. After stating this, the person on the line became agitated and said things like: "we aren't in the competitive bidding process," "there is no point in getting multiple quotes because you're not comparing apples to apples," " if you're basing your decision on price, then I can assure you that we won't be the cheapest quote."

It was amazing to me how things quickly turned a bit nasty all because I was transparent about wanting multiple quotes before committing on the work. Needless to say, the conversation did not end well. I would strongly advise against considering this company for landscape services if their approach is such that they aren't understanding that the purpose of an estimate is to evaluate options.

Avoid Michael Staley at all costs...typical sales person who does not stand behind their work once they receive their money.

Deck squeaks all over when you walk on it. I called and emailed several times and all they do is make excuses...they can't even send someone out to look at it. I spent over $20K and this is what I get. Company does not stand behind their products and wants nothing to do with you once they complete the job. The only time the deck does not squeak is after it rains. I now have a deck I cant enjoy because of the noise it makes when you walk on it.

C & M Residential Services do an exceptional job listening to its customers. Prof landscape maintenance is difficult to find, and listening to customers is almost unheard of and that’s why I love this company.

They understood what I wanted and planned a nice landscape. They took out a dead tree and cleared the area next to the house of weeds. Everything on time and done well. The only thing I am having trouble with is that they did nothing to prevent weeds from coming up. Price was good. They also changed the layout of the plants without discussing it with me.

Just spoke at length about fixing a contractor's pit in my yard in Marietta. After speaking with several of his competitors first, I can clearly tell that his practical knowledge, experience and more far exceeds the people I spoke to at the other companies Very honest, wise and straightforward.

C & M layered a concrete foundation for my patio. They came up with a concept to guard against rain, erosion and built in within 3 days. I highly recommended them for any concrete foundation work.

This review is intended to help others to make an informed choice of service providers for trash/debris pit remediation and associated concrete work.

We engaged C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES to remediate a very large builder trash/debris pit underneath our driveway and replace the concrete driveway, as well as an adjoining concrete sidewalk. We spoke with at least 5 different companies, and we selected C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES because we felt that they were the most knowledgeable, experienced, and honest based on our dialogue with them. With this said, here are the positives and negatives of our experience with C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES:

Positives
1) C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES knew exactly how to permanently remediate the trash/debris pit. Their knowledge and experience were evident.
2) C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES offers a detailed variable pricing model based on labor, equipment, and materials, which is transparent and fair, especially with regard to trash/debris pit remediation.
3) C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES did quality work in terms of the trash/debit pit remediation, addressing water lines that run underneath our driveway, identifying and repairing a structural issue underneath an adjoining corner of our garage, and with regard to the structure of the driveway.
4) C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES was responsive to inquiries and communicated fairly well regarding status and next steps throughout the project.

Negatives
1) C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES is not the low-cost provider, nor do they claim to be, and they do not quote a flat amount for concrete work like many concrete companies do. So, this creates exposure to cost inflation based on C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES’ variable pricing model. Indeed, the cost of our project just so happened to be the exact amount of the high-end of C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES’s initial estimate, and the concrete work represented the primary area of cost inflation.
2) We noticed an area of discoloration in the driveway concrete right above our water pipes immediately after the initial pour (i.e. concrete wet), and we inquired about it to C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES’ President, Michael Staley. He responded that the discoloration was typical for concrete and that it would fade in a matter of months. After numerous email exchanges and deferrals over the course of nearly 9 months, the discoloration remains, we have no idea what the cause of the discoloration is or if it will ever fade or become a larger issue, and the only options that C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES offered were (A) to replace the section and have a different form of discoloration based on the age of the new concrete, or (B) to employ C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES for additional landscaping at a discounted price. A discount/partial refund for damaged merchandise (discolored concrete) was requested but denied.
3) In my view, C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES’ President, Michael Staley, bordered on arrogant rudeness and indifference at times in his written response to questions. This was perhaps unintended, and again, is simply my feeling.

I hope that this is viewed as a fair and helpful review by anyone considering C & M RESIDENTIAL SERVICES for trash/debris pit remediation and associated concrete work.

Great experience to work with Michael for my sinkhole project in my backyard. He is superior, fast response, good communication, great job in details, and offers great value to his service. I would recommend to any friends.

I met with Jason about a major clean up at my home. He was very professional and knowledgeable and the guys who came out to do the work were great! Will definitely use C & M again.

A 3 foot deep hole developed in my back yard. The hole is about 1foot by 1 foot wide. I spoke with Michael Staley a few weeks ago. He spoke with me over the phone for several minutes and determined by our conversation that what I had was a stump that was covered up during construction 40 years ago and deterioration and termites over the years had absorbed the stump , leaving a hole in the yard. Based on our conversation he suggested filling the hole with dirt with no large excavation. Michael took the time to speak with me and analyze the problem and saved me a significant amount of money. Hole will be filled and hopefully take care of the problem. If not, I will definitely call C and M Residential.

We started using C&M for seasonal jobs like pruning, aeration and overseeding, and laying mulch and pine straw. They did such a great job, we now use them for our regular biweekly lawn maintenance as well. We have been very pleased. They have always been very accommodating of anything we need.

After reaching out to C & M Residential about some holes in my yard I've been concerned about, Michael took the time to talk to me about my situation & give his professional advice based on my description. He helped me to understand what was going on most likely & how to resolve it myself, free of charge. I truly appreciate the help & definitely recommend this company!
