Landscaping reviews in Marietta, Georgia

Recommend c & m 1000%! I contacted Michael during a holiday weekend for a sink hole concern/ evaluation on our pending home purchase. He came out a day later, was extremely thorough , gave us tons of advice and made certain we understood the situation fully.

C & M Residential did a major job for us. The work was completed before schedule and because of this it came in significantly below their estimate. The workers were skilled, professional and efficient. The project manager kept me in the loop. I highly recommend them for all types of work on your property.

I really enjoyed working with C&M. We had a very overgrown yard and the team helped us get it all the horrible weeds taken away and added new plants and landscaping to make our home beautiful again. Michael and Brendan are really easy to talk to and respond swiftly to emails.

My Wife and I have lived in our home for 30 years. We have always been committed to making upgrades and improvements to our home to enhance our lifestyle. When we purchased our home we knew that eventually we would have to address our backyard situation - wooded growth, with steep graded/fluctuating topography. The type of backyard a forestry botanist or environmental geographer would relish - not so good for a backyard gathering or barbecue.

After saving and budgeting, we were ready to look for a contractor to finally convert our 'wildlands' to a real backyard.
We could not have been more fortunate to find C & M Residential Services.

Our first impression of C & M was established from our 1st meeting with C & M's registered landscape architect, Brendan Smith. It was a super-positive 1st impression. Brendan's professionalism, knowledge, friendliness, communication skills were top-flight. Once we provided our ideas and research to Brendan, he just knew exactly what we were aiming for. Not only did he provide the best option for us - the one that ensured longevity, solid engineering, and low maintenance - but showed us how the option would be cost-effective, long term.

We were very impressed with Michael Staley, President of C & M; Carl Staley, Ofc. Mgr.; and Jason Guest, Chief Operating Officer. Company operations, sincere and honest communication, and ease of communication was so valuable. There is no substitution for it.

C & M made sure that the contract details, costs, possible extra costs, engineering/construction timetable, guarantees, codes, follow-ups, payment options, and contacts were concise and detailed. NO 'hocus-pocus' /'slight-of-hand' stuff here, folks!

The straight forward communication was so refreshing and relieving.
C & M’s construction teams are expert, thorough, efficient, friendly, and open to suggestions to the project, of course within the parameters of the contract. They were just great. We were so pleased with their work. They treated the project like they were working on their own homes. It can’t get any better than that.

Pricing was not the lowest – for good reason. Customers get top-flight professional service and execution from beginning to end. More importantly, C & M’s pricing is far from being the most expensive. In my opinion, we received more than what we paid for. We are very pleased and would definitely recommend C & M Residential Services. They truly created an enjoyable outdoor living space for us.

This review is LONG overdue! The guys are Terrific! Had a long troubling sink hole and Michael came out and laid out the process to a TEE! I was dreading dealing with this but as we got into it and hole kept growing......they stayed right with it and cleaned out all the debris and layered in the backfill, compacting along the way and put everything back in place. A really pleasant experience dealing with Michael and his crew. I'm picky and I give them the highest review.....to bad all contractor experiences are not like this!!! Thxs Michael !!!

C&M has performed three landscaping jobs for us over the last several years. I have been very pleased with the outcome each time. On all three jobs, Abel and his crew went above and beyond what was contracted. For example, laying a walkway border with leftover stone, digging up an old tree stump and laying extra sod. I highly recommend C&M. High quality work, always professional and (weather permitting) always on schedule.

I have a large sinkhole in my backyard. I found C & M Residential online and filled out a request for a quote form online. I then submitted it and also called company directly to speak to someone to get the ball rolling quicker. I talked to a female employee who seemed very nice and cordial and told her what I needed. She wrote my contact info down and said someone will be contacting me within 24 hours.
Well today is day (15) and I have yet to hear one word from anyone from this company.
You only have one chance to make a good impression with me, especially when it comes to business and my money.💰
Good Riddance!

We hired this company for residential landscaping maintenance. None of their services met expectations. We got nothing but excuses when only the front yard and not the back was mowed. They broke a large pot and vowed to replace it, but never did. When we asked if edging had been done, we received lies, then back tracking after I'd called them out on their error. When we tried to discuss challenges, their employee (who apparently had worked for the company for over 10 years) turned his back and walked away. We even met with the owner and he was nothing but chauvinistic, unprofessional and less than apologetic about our poor experiences with their company. There is nothing responsible, respectful, responsive or professional about this company. DO. NOT. USE. THEM.

C&M residential did awesome work in my backyard. I didn’t know exactly what to do and they came out and inspired me to expand my patio and add a wall. For the first time I love my backyard. Work was done at a high quality, on time and very professional. Will use them again for sure. You can tell they’ve been in the industry for 30yrs!

If you need sinkhole repair, you’ve come to the right place. Michael Staley responded to my request for help and quickly identified the sinkhole in my yard as created by the developer when clearing the land. And he was correct, the amount and kind of tree trash pulled out were unbelievable...trunks, roots, etc. I was nervous about cost since he could not give me an exact price as depth of hole was unknown and this is an expensive project. However, he did give me an estimate that was his best judgement and final cost was right in line with what he predicted. His crew worked diligently to clear the hole and fill it in. They were both professional and hardworking. I also appreciated the fact that C&M managed to maneuver the heavy equipment needed to repair the hole with as little damage to my yard as possible. That also saved me $! All in all, I am extremely pleased with the work C&M did on this job.

This company is FANTASTIC! My project turned out better than I could have imagined. I had the whole yard, back and front, graded and sodded. I got a brand new driveway and back patio. I hired them to address a drainage problem, and not only is that fixed, but I now have a BEAUTIFUL outside space. Michael Staley, the owner, drew up my landscape design and oversaw the work personally. The crew was knowledgeable, professional, respectful, and friendly. Michael worked very hard to stay within my budget. His and the crew's attention to detail is the best I have seen. I recommend them highly.

IMPECCABLE LANDSCAPING. Jason and Nick managed the landscaping of our front yard and delivered one of the most beautiful designs that was within our budget. They are very detailed in their plans and make the time to communicate effectively every step of the way. Their crew are very hard workers and take pride in what they do. They also do excellent cleaning up after themselves - they even cleaned the street!

C & M Residential recently completed a project in our home where we repaved our front walkway, reset the steps leading to our front door, and added new drainage. They did a great job and we have received many complements. We were very happy with the work, and will gladly work wiht them again on future projects.

I have used C & M Residential for about 10 years now for our landscape maintenance and one-off project needs. Both management and the teams assigned our account are professional, are on site when they are scheduled to arrive, and do a great job, week in and week out. The weekly maintenance team knows my wife and me by name and are always courteous, addressing us by name when we cross paths.

They have done sprinkler, landscape, and shrub projects. We recently had two very large specimen shrubs at our front door removed that had outgrown that space. The shrubs were more than 20 years old and of course were well rooted. It took a team of three about two hours to remove the shrubs. Because my wife and I were reasonably concerned about how our front entry would look, I was outside a lot. I never heard a complaint. And they did a great job. Looks like the shrubs were never there.

They installed our Zoysia front yard lawn 3 years ago and it is now the envy of our neighborhood. They installed a block walkway from our front to the backyard and it looks fantastic.

Their project manager, Michael Teem, is not just an office guy. He pitches in when and where necessary. As a matter of fact, he led the team on site that installed the block walkway. Each stone probably weighed 300-400 pounds each. Again, no complaints from any team member.

One of my pet peeves is lack of communication when something either needs to be rescheduled or something goes wrong. If their communications system works, I am an easy customer with whom to do business. I have only had one complaint early in the relationship. I brought it to their attention and it has never happened again.

Their prices are reasonable, their teams are professional and courteous, and this is one less thing I have to worry about, especially in these unusual times.

I would enthusiastically recommend C & M Residential for your outdoor needs. They will even manage your sprinkler system. One stop shopping.

We used C&M Residential for our lawn-care and related services for several years, and the service has been excellent. They are reliable, consistently meticulous and very easy to work with. The only reason we stopped using them is the sale of the house. Wish they had a branch in the state to which we’re moving.

Great, honest group of people. The whole crew really is great and were super attentive to details. Michael came to my house and helped investigate some suspicious sinking spots in my yard, only to find out they were old tree stumps starting to decompose. They removed all the stumps and backfilled and compacted it proper! Really, thanks to the whole crew. I absolutely recommend C&M.

It’s been a challenging experience when you are working from out of state to get your 93 year old father’s yard to look presentable. In town to check things out and the large stand behind mowers continue to run over the sprinkler heads making them inoperable. Ran the system thus am and half the yard isn’t getting water due to this issue. After talking with Michael they will look into a pressure issue with the lines. Does not have anything to do with the large mower which gave me peace of mind! Excellent response. They are scheduling to get the issue fixed! I’m feeling a lot better now. Thanks

We have been with C&M Residential Services for 7 years. The company and employees have been consistently thorough, responsive, efficient, and professional even through the difficult years of Covid. In the past we had several companies before C&M, and had to change frequently because service was unsatisfactory. C&M was the only one that performed to the highest standards, and we believed for a fair price. We are moving to a community that provides the lawncare services, and so we will miss everyone we have worked with at the company but will continue to refer C&M to others. Thank you to Jason Guest and his lawn care and quarterly trimming teams.

I used this company to correct some drainage issues and to landscape a portion of my back yard. The design I was provided was beautiful and surpassed my expectations. I had a space of my yard that felt like an after thought and they made a beautiful fire pit area that know flowed with the rest of my yard. The finished product is outstanding and I could not be more happy and satisfied. C & M is the most professional company I have ever worked with when it comes to home improvements. I would/will recommend them to everyone. They have a customer for life with me.

We recently hired C&M Residential for an extensive backyard redesign and to implement a new drainage solution, and have been so pleased with the work they did. They were professional and quick to respond to our questions and concerns. They also made adjustments along the way to best fit our needs. They were worth every penny! Michael, Nick, Abel, and crew were just awesome and we are lucky to have found them. They took a mud pit of a backyard and created a small retaining wall, gave us two beautiful stone patios, and relocated our swing set, all while fixing the bad drainage we had. We now have more usable yard space and are in love with the results! We would recommend them to anyone.

C&M has been my provider over 10 years....enough said. They have ability to do whatever you need and TRUST them 100%.
