Austin is hands down one of the best professionals I have ever encountered in any industry. We had met with several different landscape architects prior to meeting Austin but his vision was clear from our first meeting. Ahead of schedule, excellent communication and very transparent throughout our entire project. I highly recommend Austin and his team!

Our experience with Cutters Landscaping was wonderful. Austin was responsive, proactive, and provided a beautiful finished project. His crew was great as well and we felt very comfortable having them work on our property. They always arrived as scheduled and were very respectful of our property. Austin was on site frequently to make sure everything was going to plan. He checked in with us to make sure we were informed of all developments and happy with the work through all its stages. Our finished result was exactly what we were hoping for - we would definitely use Cutters Landscaping again for any future projects!

Austin and his team are wonderful. We did a pretty full makeover of our backyard, including taking out an existing patio, replacing it with a new paver patio, built in bar, firepit, all new sod, etc. Austin got to our project on schedule, and despite several challenges with weather, finished the project as quickly as possible allowing us plenty of time to enjoy the new space in good weather. Throughout the process, Austin was responsive via email and text message, and would call to explain updates that were more in depth. He had great ideas (including moving the TV off the house on to a screen wall, which was a game changer and the absolute right thing to do as it frames the space incredibly well and also opens the space across for conversation). Austin's team was friendly and considerate, and were good sports about having three very interested kids watching through the window on a daily basis. :) Would highly recommend. Now I just need Austin and crew to come back in the spring to do my front yard!

Austin and his team did an amazing job! Great to work with and extremely professional. He understood our needs and created our vision. We love our new patio and will enjoy for years to come. Thanks!
We are very happy with the work! They showed up a few days earlier than schedule and communicated effectively. The work is top-notch, better than expected, and the charges more than fair. Our yard has never looked better. We will definitely be using this company again. Highly recommended!

They did an excellent job last summer 2019 on designing and building our patio/yard. Turned out fantastic. Needed additional work done this spring 2020- did a wonderful job. Great insight into project design.

This is our second project with Cutters, and we will not hesitate to hire Austin and his amazing crew for the next project. We needed to replace a small deck in the backyard, Austin came up with a design beyond what we even thought would be feasible. We weren’t sure that a large raised deck to replace our stone patio would work. I am so glad we trusted his vision for each aspect from design, materials, lighting, and perfect tree, shrub and flower choices. You will receive high quality work with a tremendous attention to detail. Austin and his crew stand by their work and will do whatever it takes to make sure you are 100% satisfied with the job. You will absolutely get what you pay for in quality and customer service.

Austin and Cutters landscaping provided top-notch, highly responsive service throughout our entire project. From coming out to brainstorm design, to accommodating last-minute changes (that even required undoing and redoing work), Austin and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend, and plan on using Cutters again for future landscaping needs.
Austin did a wonderful job. Had great design concepts for our back yard/patio. In retrospect gave really great advice in terms of lighting, stone choice and plant choice. Quality of the work was outstanding. Came in well within the budget that was initially given. I would recommend cutter without reservations....really fantastic
