Outside Landscape Group

I love driving up my driveway again! Our front yard was in bad shape. We had trees blocking the house, old sprawling bushes, vines, and generally tired looking landscaping. Adam came up with a beautiful landscaping plan that fit our budget and, man did he and his team DELIVER! They transformed our front yard and curb appeal for our house. Adam has an incredible eye and knowledge of landscape architecture. I would recommend him to anyone. Next up... the backyard...

They advertise on their website and other sites that they service several Atlanta counties, including Gwinnett County. They are even listed in the Home Reports guide for Gwinnett County. I called them and after explaining to them what I was looking to get a quote on, I was asked to be placed on hold to get me to the right area? It's a landscape company, didn't know there was specific areas within that but, I took the time to explain all I was looking to get quotes for. Got placed on hold, someone answered, and had to tell them the same info ALL OVER AGAIN! After I explained for a second time and was providing my info(I live in Dacula, in Gwinnett county!), they told me they do not service my area? Then don't list Gwinnett County as a service area, or specifically state which city or cities you do or do not do work in within the county!!

The team at Outside Landscaping transformed our backyard into a beautiful and desirable place to gather. Our long-time friends commented this weekend that for the first time in 15 years that we have lived at this home that we are able to hang out and enjoy the backyard. While the beautiful water feature is a key focal point, there was attention to detail put into the hardscaping and landscaping throughout the entire project. From the designs at the beginning, to the project itself and the wrap-up, the entire team was very responsive, communicative and helped bring ideas to life. Further, Outside Landscaping collaborated well with our deck contractor and also refreshed our front yard as well dramatically improving curb appeal. I highly recommend Outside Landscaping for transformative outdoor projects.

Rick and his team recently came out and re-landscaped my entire yard. His team removed all of the old grass (weeds) and replaced it with fresh sod after they filled in the sink hole that developed over the years. They added some beautiful trees to create a virtual fence between my house and my neighbors, a new stone walk way around to my deck, new bushes and created islands around my trees with the red mulch that I requested. I couldn't be happier and look forward to spending more time in my yard. Thank you Rick!

Adam and his team were top notch. From initial consult through job completion, professionalism all the way. The crew was polite and tidy. The crew lead took the time to explain what was happening every step of the way. You can't go wrong with Outside Landscape Group.

"It was a delight working with Rick Kaldrovics and his company Outside Landscape Group. His people did very professional work at a fair price and went above and beyond to do work not in the original plan. Grant DuBois

We paid over $50,000 to have our backyard drainage issue corrected with new sod and 2 flagstone patio areas. He basically reused the drawings we already had. The new pipes he replaced have not solved the drainage problem at all. Our yard is constantly soaked with fungus and gets flooded like a lake. We have contacted Rick several times and he continues to deny that there is anything wrong and refuses to correct the issue.

Please advise your drivers not to use the Yield sign at the intersection of Westside PKWY and Hembree Rd as a green light, when they clearly have a red light turning right. They fly through there and whip their large landscape trucks into the intersection. One almost hit me this morning, and I had a green light.

This is not the 1st time I have seen this, just the 1st time reporting it, as it is becoming a standard.

If you want your yard to look like it should be in Southern Living, then call Outside Landscape Group.

Outside Landscape Group regraded the lower half of our yard, installed new patio with a fire pit, along with boulders and steps to handle the grade change across the yard. From design to cleanup, everything was first class and professional. Ray handled the design, materials, and oversight of the crew. As the project progressed, he made a number of nice tweaks which made the final product even better, without any additional cost. Couldn't be happier with the result. You may find cheaper, but if you like things done right the first time, OLG is highly recommend.

We had an idea of what our yard could be like, but Adam brought it to life. We had a mix of wooded space, grass, shrubs, and flower beds, and Adam brought forward a design that brought the various areas together in a design that combined natural elements, foundation plantings, and hardscaping. We love spending time in our yard now and can't wait for Spring for it to come to life even more. The team worked diligently to get the project done one time and on budget. Thank you for making our yard awesome!

We had Rick and his team do the landscape design and install for our new home. We've been very pleased with the working relationship and final product produced by Rick, the office team, and work crews. His crews were complimented by other contractors working on our house build... courteous, professional, hard working, quality work, and great clean up. I concur!

Adam and his team did a fantastic job! Very professional and courteous from start to finish. I was very impressed with how they completely cleaned up after every day of work. Never a mess! I would highly recommend this group to anyone seeking a beautifully landscaped yard.

Excellent recommendations that look fabulous; very professional; excellent communication all along; no surprises; no "issues". The crew was meticulous and cleaned up. My wife commented that she didn't know a landscape refresh could bring "so much joy". Rick and team are fantastic and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a job done right!

Diseased plants and poorly designed irrigation.

I paid $20,000 for landscaping a small yard. I was happy to pay the price because I thought it would be a full service quality job. I could have done it myself for a fraction but thought I would save my time and energy for other parts of the yard. I m getting older and don t want to injure myself doing something I could hire someone for.
They mortared what was supposed to be a stacked stone border. The foreman said Rick never told them, but I showed him the pictures from Rick s plan. I should have had them redo it. I just told the foreman to dig out as much mortar as possible. A poor decision on my part to settle since it was my favorite part of the design.

They installed diseased plants. Yes, obviously diseased the day planted.

The day they were planted, I told Rick that the coneflowers didn t look good. He said a little water would perk them up. After a week I researched the black spots and withered stalks to find that it is a disease that coneflowers particularly susceptible. I can t imagine any landscaper taking one look and not recognizing the disease.

I have a slope so steep it is impossible to climb. Rick talked me into removing the existing steps and installing a drip line so I never have to go up there. I thought it was a brilliant idea. Unfortunately, the drip line is 2 feet too far from one bush and it died. My hose can t reach to water it, even when I climbed part of the slope.

The first week, the drip line popped a tap out creating a waterfall at the top of the slope. After falling on the slope several times, I was able to climb it using the fence to pull me up.

I had to pull up and move the drip line because it was so close to the tap, at the wrong angle, that it was impossible to attach the hose.

I sent them an email five days ago along with the pictures they requested. I got no response, but did receive a nice gift basket.

I would rather have someone climb the slope and remove the dead bush and replace the diseased flowers.

The arrangement of plants was nice and the quality of the flagstone driveway border is beautiful.

Professional from the beginning of the project to completion. The crews showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves, addressed all my concerns, and completed the project within the time they said they would. They do amazing work and I've been thrilled with each job they have completed in our yard.

Adam Huber from Outside Landscape Group was the landscape architect and also project manager for our large project. We added a retaining wall hardscape and also removed trees, plants, sod, and non-functioning drainage pipes and installed a new irrigation system. Adam was extremely professional throughout the entire project. He kept us up to date on the progress and was on site for every major facet. His team was very experienced and productive. The foreman answered all of our questions. The final product is great. It is like having a brand new home, from the outside. I highly recommend this company. Thanks, Adam!

We contacted Outside Landscape Group after two personal recommendations for their company and we are so thrilled that we did! We have been in our house with a huge back and side yard for five years with nothing but half-dead grass and mud back there and Rick had a great vision for what it could be on his proposal visit. Rick and his entire team did an outstanding job on a big project to completely transform our space including two separate patio installs and complete landscaping for the whole area. The crews always showed up on time and left the area very clean at the end of the day. Everyone we worked with was very professional and responsive to any questions or needs. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking to update their outdoor space!

The surface of our 25 year old pool was crumbling. So, we needed to have the pool and pool deck resurfaced. Our pool renovation company told us that if we needed any major landscape work done that might vibrate the ground (tree removal, land grading, demolition, etc.) that we should get that done first. We needed an architectural design and implementation for our backyard to include hardscapes, (rock retaining wall, fire pit, boulders, dry creek river rock bed, concrete patio and walkway extensions), land grading, drainage, plantings (numerous trees, plants, flowers, and sod), irrigation, and outdoor lighting.
They recommended Outside Landscape Group, a landscape company with whom they had worked on projects with in the past. After meeting with Rick (the owner), he went back to his team and came up with a beautiful design for our backyard. We agreed to hire them and they put us on their schedule. They just finished 2 days ago and our backyard has been completely transformed in just a little over 2 weeks.
The project started when they told us it would start and they met with us the day before to go over the entire project timeline. They even had a portable restroom delivered the day before for the workers to use.
Adam (Landscape Architect/Project Director) and Sean (Operations Manager) are very customer focused, always kept us informed on a daily basis, stayed on top of every aspect of the project, and promptly got back to us by telephone or email if we had any concerns or questions.
William (Site supervisor) and his crew of workers were just amazing. They were a very friendly and hard working group of guys. They showed up every day at 7:30AM and worked nonstop (with breaks of course) until 5PM. They even cleaned up the site as best they could before they left. Every evening I would walk back there and could not believe how much work they had accomplished in one day.
On the final day, the team did a very thorough cleaning of the site and pressure washed. Adam met with us that day for the final walk through and went over every detail (plant care, maintenance, pruning, watering schedules, how to use the new irrigation system, how to use the lighting system, etc...., etc...) and he answered all of our questions. He even presented us with a nice gift basket to thank us for our business.
When we walk out into the backyard now, the first thing we say is "WOW! I can't believe this is our yard!". It is absolutely beautiful and turned out even better than expected. We could not be happier! We will definitely use Outside Landscape Group again and highly recommend them to anyone needing a top-notch landscape design firm.
