Contractor with Vision! These guys handle large projects. The men were amazing and very kind and timely!

We utilized Cutting Edge for our initial landscaping when we moved into our new construction house about 18 months ago. We were very pleased with what was done. The plants were all healthy and came back this spring very well. We wanted additional landscaping done this year, so of course we called Max! Again, we were very happy with the results. The crew members are great- hardworking, and they clean everything up when they are finished. I highly recommend Cutting Edge! read more

Called them for mowing services, was told that they could mow my yard within 2 days. They asked for my address to give me a quote, then called back and said that they were "fully booked" and could not mow my yard at all. Why advertise mowing and tell me that you can mow my yard just to turn it down? You just earned yourself lots of bad promotion. read more

Max completely landscaped my new home. He did irrigation, sod, trees, perennials, borders. It looks amazing! We get compliments every day. We got a couple of quotes and Max had more value for the money. Max is responsive, a good listener and great designer. We are thrilled with are beautiful front and back yard! Highly recommend. read more

We used cutting edge to install sod in our front and backyard, an irrigation system, and trees and bushes. We did not give them a specific design or any requests on what the landscaping should look. We gave them full trust and wow they did an amazing job! They picked out a variety of beautiful bushes and various colors and textures. They outlined the front yard in front of the windows way better than I could imagine. So happy with the results and will continue to use cutting edge in the future. read more

Our back yard had no patio and a lot of overgrown weeds by the garage. We had no place for a table and chairs and so we ended up just staying inside most of the time. The raised bed garden in front of the house was filled with a haphazard collection of flowers and shrubs. Enter Cutting Edge Landscaping. Max's design is fantastic and his crew is highly skilled, fast, and hardworking. (One of them saved my tulip bulbs that I couldn't find when they were reworking the raised bed garden.) We now have a beautiful patio with a table, chairs, and umbrella, and a firepit. We are out there every evening enjoying the fire, shooting the breeze, and making s'mores. Our kids love it. The landscaping and lighting really make our house stand out. I constantly get compliments from neighbors I had never met before. Max is really personable and knowledgeable. You can tell he loves what he does for a living. He even suggested a fix for the low point in our driveway that gets filled with dirt every time it rains. We are so appreciative of the work Max and his crew have done. Highly recommended. read more

We used Cutting edge to install two large flower beds in out back yard with 4 spruce trees and a ton of perennial flowers. I had to have them back out immediately because we were missing plants on the contract and the layout looked terrible. They came out an fixed it at that point, but within a few months two of the trees appeared to not be doing well. We called and emailed an didn't get a response. Finally I texted and the owner said he was out of town an would get back to me in a week- which he never did. Then winter happened an I thought I'd see what would come back before contacting them again. In the spring we also contacted the Company about the trees not doing well and some plants not coming back but still won't get a call back. We have Simse had another company out that said we will probably lose one tree and the other had to be cut and fertilized. We were told that the quality of plants that were installed were not very good and that 2 of the 4 trees were planted incorrectly and that's why we are having issues with them. So don't use this company if you value your time and money. read more

See all

I have used the services of Cutting Edge for my lawn and landscaping for four years and my yard always looks beautiful. His crew does good work and are always very polite. I also had them install a brick sidewalk from my front door to the road and it gives my house a beautiful entrance. I receive compliments on it all the time. Max has good suggestions for landscaping, but also listens to what I would like and adjusts. read more

We were referred by a friend who had used this service and was happy with what they got. We have them a try and initially were happy with the plan and with how quickly they were going to be able to get us in. The quote was a little higher than we were looking to spend, but we had an acre that needed grading and seeding. Getting a hold of Max was problematic from the start. We were given a tentatively start date, the date came and went, traded phone calls, new date given. We had a couple other projects going on that needed to be done before the landscaping happened and with no communication with Max we were worried that it wouldn't coordinate right. Luckily, our 2 projects got done and the very next day, with no warning- they showed up and started to work. Initially, the job looked good, but they left an area undone because Max thought we talked about decorative landscaping being done... we mentioned it as a much further down the road possibly but still wanted it seeded. I also roped off an area I was planning on planting a veggie garden in, they seeded it anyway. After the crews left, we had to call Max several times to fix some mistakes - fill in areas not done, add more mulch, etc. He never answered his phone on the first or second attempts. Even saw him at the Menards in Schererville and he avoided me like I had leprosy or something. They finally came to fix the issues. We still need seed fill ins but it has gotten to the point that I will just do it myself so I don't have to deal with them again. We even talked with the people that referred us to Max and they said that they are having lots of trouble reaching him and when they do get him, he is rude and unprofessional. We paid a LOT of money to have them do this work. It's not worth what we paid and we certainly won't use them again nor will we recommend them either. Our subdivision has several new houses being built, all with over an acre lots - I will tell them to go with anyone BUT Cutting Edge. read more

This is the Lake County landscaper that I refer my family and friends to. Owner Max is hands on, highly involved and does amazing work with designing hardscapes and entire property layouts. Over the 10 years I have felt with Cutting Edge they have earned my trust. read more

I was walking my dog on the sidewalk where a Cutting Edge employee was mowing. He turned off his mower when he saw me. After I had passed him he then continued mowing. Thank you for being courteous! read more
