Designing Outdoor Spaces Across Indiana

Custom Cuts has been creating custom outdoor spaces since 1987. What began as one kid with a lawn mower in his parents’ garage has grown into a trusted, Lafayette-based team specializing in outdoor living spaces across Indiana.

From West Lafayette to Carmel, we bring craftsmanship, creativity, and care to every project—no matter the ZIP code.

People-Focused, Purpose-Driven

We’ve spent nearly four decades serving homeowners and local businesses with a deep commitment to quality and connection. While our services have evolved—from simple lawn care to high-end outdoor living spaces—our approach hasn’t changed: put people first, do excellent work, and follow through.

At Custom Cuts, we’re proud to be locally owned and operated. But we’re also proud to go where the right projects take us. Whether it’s in Greater Lafayette, Carmel, Indianapolis, or even across state lines, we travel for custom work that aligns with our expertise and values.

Hear From Our Clients

  • Stacie C.

    Working with Matt and his team has been nothing short of fantastic. Over the years, they’ve helped us with everything from our sprinkler system and yard to building our berm, swimming pool, and patio. Each project has been completed with exceptional quality, attention to detail, and care.

    What truly sets Matt apart is how easy he is to reach anytime we have a question. That kind of responsiveness and dedication is rare, and it has made every project stress-free and enjoyable.

  • Jan W.

    I am thrilled with my pond and landscaping that was planned and installed by Custom Cuts! I love to hear the waterfall and look at the many colored flowers around it. I enjoy being outdoors and enjoying nature, but find that difficult with two active teenage boys and a very demanding job. This backyard allows me a compromise. They were willing to listen to my thoughts for changes, recommend alternative ideas, and come to the best decision. I highly recommend!

We’re not in this just to build things—we’re here to serve people. Outdoor living spaces have the power to bring families together, create peace, and expand how we use and enjoy our homes. That’s the kind of impact we care about.

We’re also building something bigger than ourselves. From investing in our team to giving back through volunteer work and community support, we’re committed to doing work that matters—both in the backyard and beyond.
