"After replacing my roof, I still noticed water leaks in my attic. I called Bob at Beaty Masonry to look at my Chimney. There were definitely cracks in the mortar on both the sides of the chimney and the crown of the chimney. After scheduling time with him to complete the task, he came and completed it in one day. Bob cleaned off the chimney, ground out some of the old mortar, matched the color and then re-mortared the exterior of the chimney. His work exceeded my expectations on quality, cost, and time taken and I couldn't be happier. I have included an image of before and after, with the before picture on the left, after picture on the right."

Super Service Award Winner-3 Straight Years! C & M Residential Services, Inc. was founded in 1991 by Michael Staley. After working in the industry and having an affinity for the work, he decided to pursue his passions and founded his own company. The company grew steadily and we worked to keep our customers happy. We began to see a need – most landscape companies make an effort to fulfill requests for enhanced outdoor elements, but do not have the appropriate answers to the necessary questions. To fill this need, over the years we have accumulated staff members that bring to the table a unique and versatile skill set. We are able to provide you a solution for anything outdoors. Other companies would have to contract out the work, but at C & M we are able to provide the vast majority of services with our full time employees. In additional to residential landscape services we also specialize in sinkhole remediation.

"The work went according to plan. The new driveway is beautiful and really improves our lot. The new grass from the seeding is coming in beautifully as well. C&M is very knowledgeable and responsive if you have any questions throughout the process."

"Tim and company exceeded my expectations. I had recently cut down a number of cypress trees in my backyard and once they were down there was only a muddy mess left. Tim are out and walked the space with me. I told him some thoughts about making a flowery space with a bird bath as the central piece. He suggested a butterfly garden leveraging natural boulders rather than timbers to level off the area. When his team finished the work, I could barely believe my eyes. What was once an unusable eyesore was now my favorite part of the property. His team was fast, polite and meticulous. Nothing looked hastily done or our of place. This is the 2nd time I had used CEL and I will certainly use them again for my next landscaping project!"

2000 years of experience

Specializing in Design/installation projects starting in 8-10k with a Landscape Architect leading the way, Outside Landscape Group is known for creative and well-crafted landscape projects from the simple courtyard garden to the elaborate resort backyard. We specialize in working with homeowners to provide a complete landscape design and installation service. The process begins with meeting and working with a Landscape Architect that will create a detailed landscape plan tailored to the client's needs and budget. Our services include master-planning followed by full service construction and implementation. Outside Landscape Group is unique in the landscape market in that most construction is managed and built “in-house” with staffed crew. In addition to landscape plantings, lighting and irrigation; complete masonry construction including patios, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, walls, walks and driveways are seamlessly crafted together thus providing for a smooth building process that is cost effective. We excel in designing and developing residential spaces from the simple foundation planting to complex pool area. Company president Rick Kaldrovics, former host of HGTV's 'Landscape Solutions,' started Outside Landscape Group in 2000. Rick believes that the key to Outside Landscape Group’s success is the ability to partner with clients and deliver a creative, professional and comprehensive service that is backed by a full service guarantee.

"If I was reviewing the work product alone I would increase my score to maybe 3-4 stars - the general design was beautiful and almost represented what we wanted. There were, however, some avoidable flaws that we now have to live with forever, in addition to repairs and issues with the owner so all together that deserves the lowest rating to serve as a warning. For context, this was a $300k Pool Project (overall) with over $200k of that going to OLG. OLG subs out the pool construction to a pool builder which is fine but he doesnt communicate or coordinate well with anyone which is where the problems come in. The pool contractor never reviewed the design that OLG came up with so we got stuck with a hot tub that was too big and a pool that was too small (both things we asked about before digging and were dismissed), no lighting under/inside the waterfall and a 6” slope on our patio which means our lounge chairs now lay at a reverse angle when flat which essentially means we can’t lay them flat - all disappointing details that we have to live with. Additionally, we suffered through repairing a major leak twice just a few weeks after we finally opened the pool. I might add that we had to point out that we thought we had a leak. The grotto/waterfall had not been waterproofed properly - collaboration with the pool contractor could have avoided this but the owner of OLG thinks he already knows everything so he’s not likely to collaborate. The first repair wasn’t sufficient and so a second effort was needed. After more than a yearlong process, we lost much of the first summer and had to cancel two events at our home due to the leaks and having to drain the pool. We also asked to have lights added under the grotto/waterfall and that has been a nightmare that never ends and they finally told us they were done and wouldn’t come back, even though the last installation of replacements (that we hope will last this time) we’re not installed properly. We were overly patient with their process to replace the bad lights and now that puts us outside their warranty period so we are on our own. I understand they are tired of coming back and want to move on but it’s not our fault that their initial workaround didn’t hold up (or that we had leaks, etc.) Were it not for the arrogant and condescending attitude of the owner, we would have easily gotten over honest mistakes but anyone looking to hire OLG should simply be aware that while the owner presents himself as being a very organized and professional businessman, which does show well initially compared to many contractors, there is an arrogant and condescending underside to his professionalism and I found that came out rather quickly. And once it did, he wrote us off. Thankfully the foreman at the time was a great person and very competent (he has since left the company) so we were always able to work well with the on-site team. The owner never talked to us again and never even visited the completed job site to walk through the final outcome with us. This spoke volumes to us in the end. He missed out on an extra $80k in landscaping as we had originally planned to implement his design for the front/side yards and our front gate area. I was not willing to give him any more business at the end of the pool job. Unfortunately you need to consider the owner and his personality as part of your overall consideration when choosing a landscape or pool company. I’m sure there are customers who have had a good experience and for the right (landscaping only) job you might get out without any problems, but based on our overall experience, I would NOT recommend OLG at all, and especially not if you are building a pool. Good luck!"

"I had a pilot light on a gas fireplace that wouldn't stay on. After they asked what brand of fireplace and pilot light assembly I had, they were able to order the part (thermocouple) and within a few days, came by and installed. They also checked on the pilot light, the fireplace burn flames, replaced all batteries in the remote control unit and reassembled the logs. They did more than I expected for the price of replacing the thermocouple. Alex Jarski, who is the owner, was the person whom I was in contact. is company sells and services outdoor grilling and kitchen equipment.

Outdoor Kitchens questions, answered by experts

No. Placing a built-in grill against the house is discouraged due to safety concerns. Building codes and regulations often require a minimum distance (typically 10 feet or more) between a gas grill and any combustible structure, including a house. Placing a grill too close poses a fire hazard and risks damage to the siding or structure, potentially leading to carbon monoxide buildup. It's essential to consult local building codes, follow manufacturer guidelines, and prioritize safety by positioning the grill at a safe distance, ideally in a well-ventilated outdoor kitchen or designated grill area.

Weatherproofing and winterizing your outdoor kitchen is extremely important, especially if you experience intense weather events. Make sure to choose weather-resistant furniture and waterproof containers to store ingredients. Also, go with a high-quality grill that’s built to last and protect your cabinets with sealant or varnish. Finally, invest in a covering of some kind for when it rains or snows.

An outdoor fireplace can add value to your home, with an estimated return on investment (ROI) of 56%. This luxurious outdoor feature will certainly appeal to buyers when the time comes to sell. And, of course, if you aren’t in the market, an outdoor fireplace will increase the livability of your home.

Whether or not it’s cheaper to build a pizza oven depends largely on what style you opt for and which tools and materials you already have. For example, having a surplus of leftover fire bricks from another DIY project will reduce the amount you need to build a new pizza oven and cut costs to boot. On the flip side, if you don’t have any of the required materials, buying a pre-made option will be cheaper and require far less work to set up—between just $300 and $1,000 for the best versions.

A few materials are most commonly used when it comes to building a frame for an outdoor kitchen: wood, steel, and concrete or brick. While there’s no best option overall, each material is better suited to different needs. Concrete and brick are typically more customizable than other options, but aren’t as resistant to inclement weather as steel. Wood is the most affordable pick, but it is more susceptible to rot, mildew, and heat than the others.
