A Dream Oasis Blooms in Retirement: A Glowing Review of A Cut Above Outdoor Specialty Services and Crown Enterprise of Jax. After 30 years exploring the world through our service in the USMC, my wife and I craved a haven to share with loved ones. We envisioned an oasis and “A Cut Above” brought our retirement dreams to life. Turning our vision into reality wasn't easy. It required a skilled orchestra of professionals, and Sean White and Tanner flawlessly harmonized with our electrician Derek and plumber Chris from Crown Enterprise of Jax. Together, they orchestrated a symphony of functionality and beauty, even amidst the holiday crunch. While today's costs sting, the warranty, quality, dedication, and personal touch Sean and Tanner provide are priceless. Remember, folks: quality materials, skilled labor, and peace of mind come at a cost, but they're worth every penny. Here's what we learned on our journey to paradise: 1. Specialists shine brightest: Don't chase the unicorn of a "one-stop shop." Trust the experts like Sean and Tanner for pavers, and find your own Derek and Chris for plumbing and electrical. 2. Wider Drains, Bigger Gains: Don't skimp on those drains! Wider is better, and remember, the magic truly happens underground with that 6" PVC pipe – crucial for keeping your oasis dry. 3. Futureproof with Tracers: Think ahead! Run those electrical and plumbing tracers for any future renovations. Thank your past self later! 4. Expert Ears are Golden Ears: Listen to your professionals! They've seen it all, and their guidance is your gold. 5. Bold Choices, Beautiful Outcomes: Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Embrace bold decisions, and watch your dream take shape. In conclusion, we're beyond thrilled! They're "A Cut Above," as the saying goes, and we're overflowing with gratitude. Our oasis blooms, and it's all thanks to their expertise and dedication. Cheers and Bravo Zulu to all the Crew that "played in the dirt", and of course to building your very own beautiful haven!

Can't say enough good things about this company. They did a wonderful job removing our old cracked concrete driveway/path and replacing with be a beautiful paver driveway. They were patient as we chose our color/plans, gave helpful advice on the new paver choices, and did an outstanding job re-leveling our driveway and installing a drain system/sod as well. I would hire them again in a second. Thanks for the wonderful job guys!!

Shawn came out on October 19 for large job quote. He spent over an hour withe me. He said he was backed up after the Home and Patio show, it may be a little over a week or so before he gets me a quote. It's 7 weeks later, have not heard anything from him.

Had leftover pavers from new pool deck and wanted to add space for my grill on one side and a small path on the other side. Shawn and his guys did an amazing job matching up against the existing paver section, looks amazing. Exceeded my expectations.
Top quality work was performed on time and on budget. Shawn and Tanner were very professional and two of the nicest guys to work with. They are knowledgeable about their craft providing me confidence that I chose the right company.
Description of Work: Install pavers in driveway, walkway, and entry way
As a working mom with active children, my schedule can be pretty hectic. Mr. White worked with this crazy schedule by coming to my home outside of his business hours to do the initial consultation. As he discussed the options with me and we measured my yard, I was pleased to learn that I had over-budgeted. Shawn suggested using some of my extra allocated money to add a wood burning fire pit for the children to enjoy smores on summer nights. Upon receipt of the official proposal, I was very pleased to see there was a detailed listing of all of the materials, and work to be completed. The contract is very well written, and provides extensive details including the warranty information. Overall Mr. White and his crew were courteous and professional. The work was started and finished when promised and the final result has surpassed my family's expectations. Shawn not only took into consideration my 2 legged children, but also my 4 legged children - taking frequent breaks to secure the back yard so that they were still able to do their business as he and his crew worked. We've already begun to design a remodel for our driveway and front entrance and will definitely be in touch with Mr. White so that the front of home can also be a cut above the rest. Thank you Mr. White for giving our family a spectacular space to make memories.
Description of Work: My family needed an extension added to our pool patio area. With several children and dogs running around, we found that the standard 3 or 4 foot decking simply wasn't enough space.

I wish there was the opportunity to give a rating of A+. Shawn and his team were excellent from start to finish. We had them build an outdoor kitchen for us. From the initial contact Shawn was very responsive and followed through as promised. His attention to detail was excellent and matched even my OCD standards! His team showed up on time, worked quickly to finish the job, and left the area cleaner than they found it. I would definitely recommend them and will hire them when I have a need in the future.

Thank you so much for the review & allowing us to build it for you & your family!! We know there will be many great memories made there!!
I could not be happier. They installed a drain system to take water away from the area, moved my lawn irrigation as stated in the estimate and installed a conduit for the electric to the kitchen set at my request. At the end they moved the kitchen setup, approximately 450 lbs., to the patio for me. Instead of hauling all the sod and topsoil away I requested the locate some of it at various places in the yard to help the landscape, the rest was removed and the worksite clean when they left the site. I would certainly hire them again.
Description of Work: I needed a patio area installed for an outdoor kitchen. I had talked with Shawn at the home show and called to see how quick we could get the work completed. Due to our leaving town in two days Shawn came that evening and completed an estimate by the next day. The design, his recommendations on pavers, and cost were all in line with my needs. We approved and set a start date for the morning we returned home. They were on time and completed the job in two days as scheduled. The finished patio looked better than I had originally pictured it in my mind. We have used it everyday sense completion.

Everything went well until after the winter season (April-May 2014) when several plants died. I contacted Sean, the owner, to come out and review the shrubs to replace the plants that died under my contract. He responded to my initial communication that he would come out that week. More than a month later, he stated that he came out and looked at the plants that died. He stated that he knocked on the door and no one answered the door. After that, he never communicated with me again, nor did he replace the dead plants. I called and also sent multiple emails and text, but to no avail. I have also filed a complaint with the local Better Business Bureau. It is listed as a negative mark against the company since he didn't replace the plants according to the contract.
Description of Work: Landscape services including removing old plant material, installing new plant material, an ornamental tree, mulch, and metal edging. Contract included a one year warranty on all plant material if it died for any reason.
