Michael Staley

President

Since 1988, Michael has been a well-respected member of the landscaping industry in the East Cobb area. He established C & M Landscape Company in February of 1991, which soon became C & M Residential Services. He has enjoyed his 30+ year tenure as president working with an exceptional team of staff and many long-term customers. C & M is far more than just a business to Michael: it’s a tight-knit family of some of the best professionals in the industry complemented by our loyal customers who we support reliably in all things outdoors, whenever they need us. When you call C & M to take on your landscape design project, Michael will take charge of planning, coordinating, and overseeing the successful completion of your project. He works with a superstar installation department with several decades of combined experience to ensure your outdoor space is one you just can’t wait to get home to! As such, Michael spends a lot of time consulting with potential and existing customers both on the phone and in person during the initial phases as well as throughout the progression of each project. He takes great pride in C & M’s competence and capabilities, standing firmly behind every project regardless of size. In addition to his talents as an all-inclusive landscape designer, Michael has asserted himself as one of the best sinkhole repair contractors in Georgia. In 2014, he appeared in a Channel 2 news segment as a leading expert in the field to voice his opinion:
