What recent reviews say

Most reviews celebrate rapid turnarounds, friendly staff, and striking outdoor transformations, particularly with hardscaping and pools. However, three negative reviews detail serious issues: missing project management on-site, workers lacking proper plans or direction, shortcuts on irrigation standards and weed barrier installation, and slow responses to warranty work on multi-thousand-dollar projects.

The gap between promise and delivery appears real in larger jobs. Positive experiences often credit Charlie's responsiveness and communication; negative experiences cite his absence during execution and curt follow-up. Reputation is strong overall (98% five-star), but the detailed complaints about subcontractor quality, material shortcuts, and long project timelines warrant scrutiny on complex or high-value projects.

Praised for
  • quick response and communication
  • quality hardscape and stonework
  • transforms outdoor spaces on schedule
  • professional and friendly crew
Watch-outs
  • poor project oversight and planning
  • corner-cutting on materials and methods
  • gaps between contract specs and execution
  • slow follow-up on warranty and corrections

Best for: Small to medium outdoor living projects with clear, simple scopes and regular owner involvement during execution.
Think twice if: Large redesigns (over $20K), complex irrigation, or projects requiring intensive on-site oversight without owner management of subcontractor work quality.

Strengths

  • Charlie responds quickly to inquiries and initial consultation
  • Expert stonework and hardscape finishing
  • Completes straightforward projects on schedule and on budget

Worth knowing

  • Charlie named as responsive to inquiries and initial design consultation
  • Erasmo credited for stonework
  • Jose and Jesus cited for crew demeanor
  • Subcontractors used for much of the work, not direct Cutters employees
  • Irrigation installed by claimed licensed irrigator but placed too close to house foundations in two complaints
  • Projects range from $10K to $24K+

Common questions

How long does a typical project take?
Simple jobs (stock tank pad, small patio) finish in one to three days. Full backyard redesigns range from one week to three weeks, though one reviewer reported extended timelines with multiple missed end dates.
Does Charlie meet with you before the project starts?
Yes. Reviews describe detailed site walkthroughs where Charlie asks questions about how you use the space, irrigation needs, budget, and long-term goals rather than arriving with a preset proposal.
Who actually does the work on-site?
Mostly subcontractors, not direct Cutters employees. Reviews name crew members Jose, Jesus, and Erasmo. One complaint noted workers lacked on-site direction and proper plans.

Most recent work earned consistent praise for punctual crews, daily check-ins, and healthy plant results. Older complaints cite poor handling of mistakes and one HOA contract abandonment, but the business appears to have strengthened recent years under current management.
