Pro Cut Landscape & Design is Bob Assarian's Watertown crew, and the thing customers write about most isn't the mulch — it's Bob walking the yard with them first, laying out options, and sometimes proposing a cheaper one. Angi shows 4.9 stars from 167 ratings, 98 percent of them five-star, and 22 of the written reviews landed in the last six months alone. BBB lists the business as started in January 2001, a one-employee S corporation owned by Robert Assarian, graded A+ though not accredited. The work is the full residential menu: spring and fall cleanups, weeding and edging, overgrowth removal, mulching, lawn care, garden redesigns, and plowing in winter. This summer's reviews describe a yard turned from a disaster into something planted in two days, a garden rescued in a few hours after the heat got ahead of its owner, a property cleared of six months of debris and weeds after a family medical crisis, and a front lawn redesigned after a town tree came down and took the shade with it — that customer has used Pro Cut for more than 20 years. In August 2026 a homeowner was offered a lower-priced alternative at the estimate visit and took it. Winter customers in January and February 2026 called after a 22-inch storm when their own plow contractor didn't show, and Bob fit them in. Crews arrive early or on the date promised, and more than one reviewer mentioned extra trimming or storm debris cleared without being asked. The only reservation in the recent reviews is price: an August 2026 customer, satisfied with the job, felt it ran a bit high. Ask for the options up front — reviewers say Bob offers them — and compare. For a cleanup, a garden makeover, a new lawn or a snow contract in the Watertown area, the people who hired Pro Cut over the past year and a half describe an owner who listens and a crew that shows up.

Fantastic experience! After requesting a quote they communicated well on an estimate visit. At that visit I was presented a quote as well as an alternative, cheaper, that may have served me better. I selected the proposed alternative and they scheduled the work to be done the same week. Came out as expected and did a great job very efficiently and with care to the neighbors/neighborhood.
The work was done well and efficiently. Some extra trimming was done as well. Communication was good. The price seemed a bit high for me, but I needed the work done and it was completed to my satisfaction
I lost my gardening mojo with the heat this summer, so I decided to bring in a pro team to clean it up before it got too wild. Bob and his team at Pro Cut were fantastic. They came early, got to work, and did everything needed to make my garden look great again in just a few hours. The cost was exactly as quoted, and included mulch and stones. I’m definitely going to have them back in the spring to help me put in a pollinator garden. On top of all of that, Bob is a nice guy, a real pleasure to work with.
Great workers, took 2 days to make a disaster of a yard into something beautiful. Can't wait for the grass to grow! Would recommend to anyone who wants honest, knowledgeable workers.
Bob did a fantastic job with our landscaping, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. But what really stood out was how much he genuinely cared about the project and about making sure we were happy with the end result. He was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, listened to what we wanted, and went above and beyond at every step. It’s rare to find someone who takes this much pride in their work and cares this much about their customers. We would absolutely recommend Bob to anyone looking for a landscaper!
