Steve Montgomery and Company

Steve Montgomery designed and built our backyard pool. We couldn't be happier with the result. Steve is very talented, knowledgeable, and patient. He is amicable and very easy to work with, and very professional. His team does wonderful work. We give him our highest recommendation!

Steve, Brian and all installers were exceptional to work with from first contact to walk through at completion. In the beginning, Steve explained that there would be a wait for design and install but stayed in touch throughout until design was complete. Based on reviews, I was willing to wait. Once on sight, all installers were punctual and kept the sight clean as they worked. In the end, I now have a backyard with gorgeous turf, fire pit area, horseshoe pit, Ninja line and access walkways from fence to fence. I highly recommend this company!

It was a pleasure working with Steve and his team. They did what they said and delivered a great product. We had some changes throughout the project and Steve and his team were able to make everything happen and kept everything fair. We will enjoy our pool for many years to come.

Exceptional service from Steve and Rich. We had a pool installed and everything went smoothly. Our back yard was tranformed into a fabulous getaway at home. Quality and attention to detailed made this project happen without any hiccups. The pool construction was perfect. Pavers were a big part of the project and they were installed very well. Also, Steve was very transparent with direction on planning and cost as well.

We’ve used SM & Co. twice - the first time in 2007 when he and his team designed our backyard from a “blank canvas”, and again in 2023 for a refresh, and installed artificial turf. Both experiences went beautifully! This team handles some huge projects, but they treated our relatively small space as if it was the most important job they had. Personal and exceptional service from beginning to end. Highly recommend!

Steve, Brian and team just a completed a redesign of our backyard with a fire pit and full irrigation system. I would highly recommend them for the great design and installation of plants, rocks and trees. It looks beautiful! They are awesome to work with and we are very happy with the project. Vince

Steve Montgomery & Company just completed a complete pool renovation and pool deck replacement for us. We are extremely happy with the final product and cannot say enough about the quality of the people we dealt with throughout the project. Brian Estes was our primary contact during the construction and was only interested in one thing; ensuring that we were happy with the final product! We will definitely contact Steve with any future projects!

Steve does not guarantee his trees and shrubs. Pikes does! We had this tree put in November 2020. The following spring it had a few leaves on it but no blooms at all. I knew it was just transplanted and thought I should be patient. I took excellent care of the tree. This Spring it didn’t bloom and is half dead. I contacted Steve. He said very nicely, the warranty has expired. That’s a lot of money down the drain and now we have a dead tree. Why wouldn’t you just buy from Pikes if they have a lifetime guarantee on the their trees? We are very disappointed that this is how he chose to handle this.

I highly recommend Steve, Brian & the entire team at Steve Montgomery & Company. The work they did from start to finish including the complete design & completion of the project was first rate. They were very communicative & responsive during the entire project always keeping me up to date while also allowing me to edit the project as we progressed with little disruption. I am so happy with our backyard and can't wait to use it all summer! You will not go wrong working with Steve Montgomery & Co.

We found Steve Montgomery and Company online and asked them to come take a look at our backyard. We had a very interesting back lot that included a dry creek bed and a deck that was falling apart. Along with a multi-level lot that made it unusable (and last but not least a cement culvert that drained the cul-de-sac rainwater into a retention pond directly into our backyard). Steve put together a fantastic plan and Brian and his team from Concept were phenomenal bringing the plans to life (Brian kept promising it was going to be beautiful, and is is). They were great to work with, answered all our questions (and there were a lot) and very respectable with our home and property while working here. I highly highly recommend them to transform your hard . Like I said it turned out beautiful and I can not wait until Spring and Summer to watch it all come to life.

Steve Montgomery and Company did a fantastic job on our home landscaping construction and I would highly recommend their services to anyone in the northern Atlanta market. Prior to landscaping, our yard was utterly unusable for our family. I contacted a dozen local companies to inquire about their services and Steve was the only person who came out to my house and met with me in person to discuss our goals for the project. Steve listened to our ideas and thoughtfully inserted his own given his decades of experience. He worked within our budget and his team created a wonderful work of craftsmanship in our yard. We are so happy with our yard and would readily request their services again in the future.

Exceptional service from Steve, Brian, and their entire team. From concept to finished design we have been delighted with our backyard installation. I would highly recommend their services. Very professional and communicative.

We found Steve on Houzz and asked him to take a look at our property. We have lived in our home for almost 25 years but we had never moved beyond the original landscaping. Steve drew up a beautiful plan that included a garden path, stone patio with a water feature, a stone path to connect the main level to the terrace level, a new patio on the terrace level, and many new plants.

This was our second major landscaping project with Steve Montgomery. Their designs are exceptional and they are meticulous with installation. I would highly recommend them for any landscape or hardscape project you may have. They are top notch!

Top 5 reasons to use Steve Montgomery and Company. 1. Always communicative and available to reach by phone, text and email. 2. Delivers on quality of workmanship. 3. Very willing to make adjustments to meet my budget by making certain areas a bit smaller, leaving out extras that I can add later. 4. The work was done efficiently and within the time frame promised. 5. The people he uses to do the physical work are delightful to be around. Date: July 2019. Cost: $23,000 before planting which will take place in cooler weather so I don't have to constantly water.

Couldn't recommend a pool/landscape company more highly than Steve Montgomery and Company. The crews are simply outstanding and the quality of work and speed with which they get the project done is second to none!

Excellent service. Steve landscaped our entire front and back yard and one side. He worked within our budget by getting smaller plants and suggesting on things that could wait to be completed at a later time. I have referred him numerous times for people wanting a total landscape redo.

Steve responded very quickly to our request to visit our home and make a proposal on redoing our entire backyard (landscaping, replacing the pool decking and copying, adding a drain, bullding a boulder wall, adding new sod) etc. We had a challenge with the pool decking due to our age of the pool but they were able to come up with a reasonable solution to make it look even better than we imagined. Sometimes you don't know the end of a project when you start but they worked with us along the way to make it a place we LOVE! They are a one stop shop for everything we needed instead of going to 5 different companies. Most of all, they are very honest and Trustworthy.

DO NOT do business with this company. I spent weeks trying to get the owner Steve Montgomery to give me a quote for an outdoor kitchen, landscaping and lighting and all I kept getting from him was "you know we're not the lowest price". He told me this over 7 times while walking my property and when he committed to give me numbers he then tells me "I don't think we're the best fit for you because it seems you want a deal." Now I happen to live in a $1.6M home in one of the most exclusive gated communities in Sandy Springs AND happen to be African American. When I let him know that he was insulting me but continuing to reference the cost without ever giving me the full quote AND then proceeded up on me hang up telling me he doesn't need my business. The worst experience ever by a contractor...well they missed out on a $55k project!

Steve Montgomery and his crew took down our old concrete block retaining wall and put up a beautiful new boulder wall. The boulder wall was Steve’s suggestion. It looks a hundred times better, and turned out to be less expensive. The crew was awesome. Punctual, hard-working, thoughtful, polite, knowledgeable, creative, and easy to work with. Each person showed a desire to make the customer happy. We have a number of plants growing within inches of the wall, but because Steve’s crew was so very careful not one plant was damaged. They showed real artistry building the wall. It is now a delight to look at. Kelly especially is made us feel confident throughout the entire process. She has a unique ability to work with the customers and the crew showing respect to all. She made the whole process easy and the outcome successful. Kelly knows her stuff. From making sure everything was delivered in a timely fashion (ready to go when the work crew showed up) to how long the plywood (used to store building material) could be kept down before it started to kill the grass, to addressing drainage problems, to helping us take photographs for the permit officer. If she didn’t know an answer to a question she would find out. Again great job by all.

Steve’s crew removed a failing concrete block retaining wall and replaced it with a visually more appealing boulder wall. The results were dramatic. What I particularly valued was how little impact there was upon the existing landscape material and lawn.

Steve Montgomery and Company did an outstanding job of designing and installing our custom pool. We had a confined space to work with, and the design perfectly fits our needs.(spa jets and swim jet) Steve and his employees are pleasant and easy to work with. They always responded in a timely manner with returning calls about questions or concerns and coming out to fix “bugs” that naturally happen with a project.

When our house was remodeled and upgraded a few years back, the back yard was left untouched and as a result had turned into a rain forest with a nearly impassible creek splitting the property in half. So last year, we decided to upgrade it with a major project to put in a patio and fix the access to the back part of the lot. We talked to quite a number of people and got several quotes, but in the end, we chose Steve and his company because he instantly felt knowledgeable and sincere and had the background and reviews to stand behind his/their workmanship. We started with bringing in a herd of 38 goats to clear the underbrush, which was cool and only took a few days (we highly recommend goats!). Then we had to remove some trees and some larger brush. In the meantime, Steve had come back with a set of plans that were exactly what we wanted - a natural and appropriate stone patio that would go well with our forested yard. And it included a path across the creek! Once the project started, it was a huge amount of effort for them, and watching the guys haul in giant boulders and hand carve each one to shape was pretty fascinating. The crew carefully placed each stone and used a variety of materials to buld a large patio, a dry creek bed in an area on the side that always flooded, great lighting, a deck expansion, improved drainage and a natural looking staircase down to the creek and up the opposite side. While it took a long time (due to the amount of work, coupled with being the second rainiest year in Atlanta), the end results were well worth it. Our patio is now usable and perfect for bringing friends over. We can go over to the other side of the lot with ease and often go over there just to enjoy the serenity of a little bit of woods in an otherwise highly populated suburban neighborhood. The pictures were taken prior to any plantings, which we will do this spring. We can highly recommend Steve Montgomery for any of your outdoor work.

Hired Steve Montgomery and Company to fix drainage and basically rework the back yard. Included regrading the yard, building a 100 ft retaining wall, and steps on the side of the house. The price was reasonable and was delivered on time and budget. I would recommend them to anyone who needs landscape work.

Steve and his team were outstanding through our landscaping project for both the front and back yards. He helped us create a real yard that we can be so proud to show and take care of now. They were helpful in making changes throughout the project, as needed. The project was completed on time - even after several rain delays. We look forward to working with Steve and his team in the future!

I looked at a variety of contractors before meeting Steve. Steve was the only one who showed genuine caring in how the final product would look. He brought creative solutions and took ownership on ensuring that the final outcome met my expectations.

We just moved to the Atlanta area. Far out in Gwinnett County and after reaching out to a half a dozen contractors only 2 showed up. Steve and another guy. Their prices were in the neighborhood of one another. Steve a tad higher. He showed us pictures of projects he had completed but we still were not completely sure what the visual would be when finished. Steve espouses Quality just by his presence and the pictures of his completed projects. From the time the Boulders were delivered I told my wife this is going to be good!!! And it turned out ever so GOOD. His crew led by partner and life long Georgian Rich THEY HAND CRAFTED the project EVERY INCH OF THE WAY. The artisan FACTOR WAS HIGH to Cap it off Steve personally visited the project at completion . 5 + STARS nothing but a Quality Experience all the way

I was referred by a neighbor -- My project needed a complete landscape design. I highly recommend Steve Montgomery and Company as I have been extremely pleased with the overall quality, knowledge and professionalism.

Steve was very professional to work with in designing our pond and very prompt in scheduling appointments and providing estimates. He worked with us to ensure that the finished product matched our vision. His installation crew was very careful to not cause any damage to the existing hard scape and plant material. The pond turned out even better than we envisioned. We enjoy it every day and our Border Collie thinks it is his personal swimming pool!

Steve and company put in a stone patio for us this past fall. We were not sure exactly what to do in our backyard. Steve came over, spoke to us about what we wanted to do and then put together a design based on that discussed. He was very open to changing what we liked/didn't like. He created documents that I submitted to the HOA which got approved quickly. We worked out a date. His crew is great, they work very hard and get the job done quickly. We ran in to a small issue and needed an adjustment in the middle of the project, which was not a problem for Steve and Rich. I've had a few questions/follow ups since then and they are always available to talk. Highly recommend Steve, Rich and their crew.

Steve met with us to understand our basic vision of project. Then came back with a detailed drawing of the project and if we wanted to make any changes. Once we had worked out those finer points the project was ready to roll. Steve and Gary did a great job of managing the project. Any concerns that may have arisen during construction were addressed in a timely manner. The results was a fantastic transformation into a backyard oasis of beauty. We are extremely pleased with outcome of our project.

Steve and his team designed and installed beautiful hardscaping at my home and a lovely garden with fountain at my in-laws house. In addition, Steve took care of fencing, drainage, driveways, and every other detail. It took a lot of patience to negotiate the quirks of the approval process and secure permits, but Steve got it done.

Steve designed a built a beautiful outdoor kitchen and screened porch for us. Features include a fireplace, granite countertops and bars, vent hood, infrared heaters and retractable screens.

Steve was very professional and easy to work with. Without much direction from me, he was able to create a beautiful design for our yard that met our needs and greatly improved the look and functionality of our space. He also provided several ideas at different price points and was respectful of our budget. The work was done very timely. I would recommend him and hope to work with him again in the future.

Steve Montgomery came to our rescue when we needed to spec out a rain garden that was required by the City of Sandy Springs as part of a room addition. He drew up the plan to submit with the building permit and executed the hard and landscaping quickly. Rich, his on site manager, did a great job of listening to our desires and went above and beyond on his attention to details. We already have some other work in mind for the near future.

Steve, Rich and their crew did an amazing job with our project. We needed a complete makeover including new irrigation, lighting, shrubs, grass, paver walkway and stonework. Due to the scope of the job the cost was far beyond what we had originally expected but Steve found a way to work within our budget and still give us everything we wanted. We look forward to moving onto phase 2 with Steve soon!

Steve, his partner and crews timely replied to all inquiries. Showed up as and when scheduled (often arrived early and stayed late, if necessary). Did the work efficiently and the way we wanted it done; cleaned up all areas, polite, and skilled and gave us a first rate job at a reasonable and appropriate price. We were impressed that, even though this was deemed a "small' job, it was done with attention to detail (and that was "big" to us).

All involved with this project were great to work with. We are very pleased with everything. Steve and Kevin planned well; Gary superbly managed the project on site; and every worker performed excellent work. Thanks to all.

Steve and his team did an excellent job! From the project design to execution. Our back yard looks great! Everything was done in a timely fashion and within our budget. Highly recommend him for any outdoor project and will definitevelly work with him again.

Steve was interested in our opinions and what we wanted our front yard to look like. We filled out a questionnaire and submitted photos in the beginning to make sure we were all on the same page. His end result was creative and matched what we had in mind. He stayed within our budget and was professional to work with. We would use him again for future projects.

Creative design to match our house, yard, sun, shade, etc. Worked within our budget and attentive to our schedule and needs. New deck, undercover, lighting and backyard look beautiful.

Steve was very creative in designing a plan for our challenging, sloped backyard. The process was easy and installation was quick and did not drag on like other projects. The end result is not only beautiful but it gave us double the usable space for our family! Looking forward to our next project with him!

Steve Montgomery is a joy to work with. He designed and implemented a plan for my disaster of a backyard that made it usable space that is also unique and beautiful. Very high quality and workmanship.

Steve Montgomery landscaping were top level professionals. Our landscape plan was beautiful and adjustments were made to keep us within our budget and still have a quality installation. I was impressed by the creativity of our plan given a relatively small backyard to work with. The hardscaping is striking and artistic, just the look that we wanted. They were punctual with appointments, accessible during the job, and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend them for any of your landscaping needs!

Thank you for the High Quality and Professionalism you brought to this project. You and your team did a great job! I look forward to working with you in the future.

Did work on building a wall next to paved deck which collapsed a few years later. When we asked him to repair it with all intentions of paying for the damage repair, he said "he wasn't interested in such a small job." His attitude is deplorable.

Very professional job with excellent outcomes. Crew was great to work with and had no issues with redoing work if it didn't look quite right. They were very committed to doing what it took to ensure satisfaction. Big project that turned out extremely well. Very satisfied!

I've worked with Steve for nearly 25 years on numerous projects. He has great insights and creativity when it comes to landscape design, and he is very thorough and detail-oriented in the implementation of the plans he creates. He also designed and installed our pool and surrounding hardscape as an integral component of the most recent project we worked on together. I would give Steve my unqualified endorsement.

I would give Steve Montgomery the highest endorsement possible as THE go-to company for any landscaping needs. From initial consult through completion, Steve and his team gave our backyard project the much desired attention to detail we had hoped for and constantly updated us as to the timeline and expectations during our multi-phase project. Steve's team was timely and professional during all construction phases and we were blown away by the quality of their work. They transformed our plain-old deck and non-existent backyard into a gorgeous living space, complete with fire pit, bar, and scenic backyard. We absolutely love the results of our project and would recommend Steve Montgomery to anyone looking for a professional landscaping company.

Steve and his team were a pleasure to work with and did a great job, on time and within my budget. Steve personally met with me on several occasions and walked me through the process of a large scale landscaping redo. He shared his expertise and wisdom on things like drainage, that i would have had no idea about, but he save me the pain of finding out the hard way. that is why you want a 30 plus year professional like me. He was also very patience as we edited the plan to meet my needs. In general, it was the best kind of working relationship...he shared his expertise and advice, but listened to my wants and needs. I am so very please with the outcome and plan to work with him on a phase 2 and 3. Highly recommend!

The Sanctuary is the name we use to describe an area between our home and the Chattahoochee River. Steve Montgomery indeed made it a special place -- with pathways, ponds, water features, a pavillion, sitting areas, a fire pit, etc.-- but of equal importance Steve and his staff took a very special personal interest in the process and the end result. They did a terrific job! The project took place between April and September of 2015

Easy to work with, beautiful results! All lead personnel and crew members were competent, cooperative and cordial. The landscaping, front porch modifications, and new screened-in back porch successfully maintained and actually improved the character of the house and the lot. I have no hesitancy in recommending the company.

We have used Steve for several years on both major redevelopment projects and multiple small projects. Steve's eye for design and the quality of his crew are second to none. We would recommend him to anyone!
