Report
Hawkes was very reasonably priced and their work is top notch. We have received countless comments on how beautiful our walkway looks. Hawkes literally went above and beyond for us. After starting he saw that it was going to look better if cut angles which he didn't have to do. He went the harder route that looked better at no extra cost to us. It is no wonder that he is booked months out but certainly is worth the wait.

Chris and his crew were polite, helpful, and professional. He helped us visualize options for a rear patio/pool area and was flexible with a couple changes as we went through the process. The finished product looks great and every detail was taken care of. We would recommend Chris for anyone looking for quality hardscape design and construction.

Hawkes redid my front walk and it went from drab to fab in a very short amount of time. Chris was easy to work with, his skill with his visualization tools helped making "seeing" the completed product before we even started so much easier and aided in the decision process. The team was polite and respectful of my property at all times. I would gladly have them back for our next project!
