### Reviews

**★★★★★ — mamahams, Feb. 2020**

> We had contacted The Cutting Edge after reading reviews on the Houzz website.
> Matt and his team did a great job renovating our backyard. We added a large spa, bluestone, planting areas, a fire pit and lighting in a compact space.
> Matt drew up great plans , had good ideas and accommodated our budget.
> Team was great, the project went as he explained the schedule would be and was on time!
> Very happy to endorse The Cutting Edge and are planning to use them again for our front yard too.

**★★★★★ — Abby Lanes, March 2019**

> We hired "The Cutting Edge Landscape Design" to renovate an old cement patio area and build a new deck in its place.  From the CAD plan to the build, to the finished product we were so pleased.  They literally came in on budget and met the exact deadline promised. All of the crews that work with Cutting Edge are professional, hardworking and happy.  They finished the job with freshened landscaping and realigned sprinklers.  We enjoy our backyard so much now. I highly recommend The Cutting Edge Landscape Design.

**★★★★★ — Marcia Nye, Sept. 2018**

> Matt & his crew did an outstanding job on my both my front & backyards. Love my new patio and yard! I had an empty slate after removing my pool & concrete. Thank you Matt!

**★★★★★ — Susan Kaminski, Sept. 2018**

> Matt designed a stone patio, landscaping and custom lighting for our home.  It looks spectacular!  He does high quality work and had excellent communication with us throughout the project.  Highly recommend him.

**★★★★★ — Kathy Chadwell, Sept. 2018**

> We completely renovated our whole backyard. It was a very large project which involved replacing full patio with seating and a firepit. Matt and his team of people turned our design into reality. It looks like something from a magazine cover. Really great communication and follow through. We will definitely use him for our front yard when we are ready.

**★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2018**

> Matt was very conscientious and desirous of getting the job done right. He was very helpful in helping us achieve our vision of the project.

**★★★★★ — Gregory Fletcher, Jan. 2018**

> Cutting Edge did a fantastic job on my backyard! They came in after Thanksgiving and moved my fire pit for more functionality added stone pavers and artificial grass. This back yard looks like a Hollywood back yard now. I am Very pleased with the added plants and lighting as well. I HIGHLY recommend Cutting Edge for any and all landscaping jobs. Thank God for Cutting Edge!

**★★★★★ — James Maertz, Oct. 2017**

> Great work fair price and fast!  They are also very good in design and picking the right plants to fit your home!

**★★★★★ — Pamela DeVito, April 2017**

> We are very happy with the work of Mat and his crew / subcontractors, etc...  They did a great job of working in our small walk street space and bringing our vision to life!  The project was done in a timely manner.  There was just one follow up item on the electrical and they came back and got it straightened out for us.

**★★★★★ — Leslie Kern, Dec. 2016**

> We had The Cutting Edge re-landscape our entire backyard.  They had to remove old soil, all plants, all concrete, and even remove some bricks that were buried in our yard (unknown to us); basically start totally fresh.  From there, Matt and his crew did all the hardscape (beautiful patio cover, flagstone throughout, water features, and more), and re-did our landscaping including all new soil and all new plants, and lighting.  It came out absolutely beautiful and the entire crew was a joy to work with.  Matt was always checking on the work and was always easily available by phone.  We are extremely happy with the finished product!

**★★★★★ — Vivian Ibarra, Dec. 2016**

> Matt redesigned by backyard to create a large outdoor space. His crew was professional and hard working. Matt responded to all of my questions and made changes and suggestions as the yard was completed. I could not be happier with the results.

**★★★★★ — Philip Yuan, Nov. 2016**

> Matt at the Cutting Edge has been great to work with. We had a fairly large project and Matt was there to guide us through it. He has been very responsive and attentive.
