I just had a new stamped patio poured. We lowered the grading so now the widow wells are higher than the patio. I want to install window well covers but need to cut down the window wells (below the cement) what would be the best tool for the job?

Are you taking about one of these things?
If so, you might not want to cut it down. The lip should be a bit higher than the surrounding grade so that rainwater doesn't run in to the well.
If you don't cut it, you might be able to decorate it.
However, if you really want to cut it then you can use a reciprocating saw. If the metal is too thick, you might need to use a cut-off wheel on an angle grinder.
