Great experience! We are incredibly pleased with the outcome; The Hawks team was great to work with, we couldn't be any happier with our landscape project. Beautiful designs, quality work, super friendly and easy to work with staff! Viri worked tirelessly to ensure that our ideas and design were completed to our satisfaction. The outdoor environment Viri our landscape designer at Hawks Landscape, created is beautiful, inviting and peaceful. she listened to our ideas, offered options and made suggestions. We highly recommend this company and their superior workmanship. Great to work with a professional like Viri and her dedication to customer satisfaction.

Hawks Landscape did a fantastic job turning an ugly site into a serene graded fence line building 2 retaining stone walls and improving my backyard immensely. Many thanks to Amanda for her landscape design and her crew, Foreman Jesse and his assistant Rafa. I highly recommend them!

Hawks re-landscaped our entire front and back yards. From the design phase through follow-up, Viri and her team exceeded our expectations. Their pricing was more than fair for the exceptional quality of the finished project. We are so pleased with how it turned out. We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to transform their space!!!

Viri and her Hawks Landscaping Team were excellent, delivering everything we expected in our design and a little more. They were responsive to our requests, timely in their execution, and delivered a great design. The team worked so hard on the project. It was amazing to see their focus and dedication. I would highly recommend them for your landscaping project.

Hawks Landscape did an excellent job with a large project helping us to re-imagine and update our property in Brookfield! Amanda worked with us throughout the project providing expert design advice and plant selections and was on site and hands on for the landscaping and planting. Sean was knowledgeable and ensured all the work was done per plan, and he and the team did everything with professionalism, care and left us with a great end product. Couldn't be happier!

AWESOME! From start to finish Amanda worked with us on every detail to perfection on the plan to create a 50 foot line of beauty of arborvitas and Hydrangeas. The crew did a fantastic job. 5 + stars. Phase II of our project was beyond our expectations. The crew removed 50 feet of snow on the mountain and replaced it with not just a straight line of sod, but a curvy design to match our other gardens. 5 + stars.

Everyone at Hawks Landscape is incredible helpful, nice, caring, detailed, and wonderful to work with! I've worked with them over the last few years and can't compliment them enough on their communication, their level of excellence, and how helpful and responsive they are to any questions! Highly recommend them for any landscaping needs you may have!

After signing a contract in May, being told the work could begin in 2-3 weeks, and repeatedly following up with Hawks, edging, clean-up/weeding, and mulching work was started at the end of July and still not complete after Labor Day. I needed to continue to follow-up with Hawks to get the rest of the work done and to get work that was done poorly fixed. Some of the work I just fixed myself. I was billed before the work was completed. I had outstanding questions that were never answered but I just want to be done with Hawks. Pictures are taken the same day work was done. Piles of weeds were left behind. Weeding was not complete and mulch was dumped over weeds and sparsely in other areas. While the actual face-to-face interactions were fine, the overall service was really disappointing.

Highly recommend working with Viri and the entire Hawks team for landscaping needs! We decided to pay a bit more for some upgrades in our project and so far, are so happy we did. From design to implementation, the team was knowledgable, responsive, and ultimately helped to ensure they brought my vision to life at our new home. We will definitely be working with them for future needs!

We worked with Viri, Jose, and Damian on our front porch project. Viri was very collaborative throughout the design process and so patient with all of my design changes. She oversaw the project throughout the build too. Jose and Damian did a beautiful job building the porch. They were conscientious, tidy, and took pride in their work. The whole team was very pleasant and easy to work with. We have received many compliments on our porch! We highly recommend this team!

My wife and I decided to do a landscape project to change our entry steps and also a stone patio with a fire pit in our backyard. After a few interviews and estimates we decided to go with Hawks Landscape. Viri and her crew were absolutely great from day one to completion of the project. They were always on time, friendly, responsible and the quality of their work is excellent. We are extremely happy with the final result. I highly recommend Hawks Landscape Inc.

Hawks designed and constructed our backyard, front driveway and front walk. The landscape architect we worked with was super talented and came up with a fabulous design using unique materials. We are so happy with it and continue to enjoy the spring, summer and fall season year after year with family, friends and neighbors. We continue to use Hawks for regular maintenance services and have always been pleased.

We have used Hawks for years for all of our landscaping needs including hardscape, design, plantings and maintenance. Most recently they did our spring cleanup including hand edging all beds and mulching. They never disappoint. The crew led by Andres and Ramon also included Rafael, Rafael (yes 2 of them), Marco & Ruben left our property looking refreshed and welcoming after winters thaw! Owner Joe Kresl has always been responsive and available. Steve Wegner serves as our main point of contact and is wonderful to work with. Highly recommend their services!!

Hawks has been servicing our property for approximately twenty years and we are extremely pleased with them. They provide seasonal services for us twice yearly (e.g. leaf cleanup, mulch laying, pruning). In addition, we ve used them for several landscape architecture projects, large and small, with beautiful results. We ve trusted them to manage the aging trees on our heavily-wooded lot, including the complicated removal of some very tall dead trees close to structures, with no damage at all. They are always reliable and responsive, and we ve found their work (including a foundation and stone steps for a gazebo) to be of excellent quality. I highly recommend Hawks.

In July 2021, I had landscaping done in my backyard. New plantings were added and the area mulched. I followed every direction on the watering and care of my new plants. Some did not survive...They have since replaced the plants to my liking. Positive

We had the pleasure of workign with Hawks on an extensive patio remodel. What a great team to work with! Very thorough and helpful design process, and responsive to our suggestions and ideas. There were several surprises during the construction/installation process, but Tim, Gary and the entire team at Hawks helped overcome those while addressing all of our concerns as the homeowner. We are very pleased with the entire process of working with Hawks!

Not the best results we hoped for

If I could give zero stars, I would! I chose Hawk s because I remember my parents doing lots business with this company for many years of my childhood. Clearly, the service isn t the same. I am extremely frustrated with the lack of service and response to requests for updates. My lawn treatment services began well but began to fall off early summer. I reached out to my salesperson with questions regarding a schedule as I noticed my lawn was not being treated as noted in my contract. I was told there were staffing issues, which I understood given COVID-19. But then I started receiving invoices for services not completed! When I reached out in August, I was told he would check on it and get back to me to which I have not had any updates (it is now December). I have sent follow up requests to which no response has been received yet more invoices have been received (for services not rendered). I work from home and my office sits at the front of my home facing my front yard. For each of the months I was billed when no services were completed there were no signs placed in my yard or carbon copy notices placed at my door showing work completed as normal. Not to mention the poor seeding job that was done in my front yard and the fact that I to request someone to return and seed the backyard as I watched the young man half seed my front yard and leave without attempting to look at the back yard. I would never recommend this company for any services nor would I give them another chance! Please note, all invoices I received were paid (even for the services not completed).

I first contacted Hawks in March 2020 for several jobs on my property. This person needed to reschedule so it was then scheduled for April. The salesperson did not come - I called and was told she had an accident (understandable) and rescheduled. This time it was either end of April beginning of May. The person finally came, seemed very competent, was told I would be at the top of the list and she would make it up to me for the inconvenience of all the rescheduling. I expected a quote within 2 weeks. Nothng. I called and was told the estimator was a week and a half behind. Today is July 11th and have never heard back. By the time I heard there was another week and half wait for a quote, I then started looking for other quotes. Unfortunately, everyone now is busy and I lost this time. Hawks used to be so good and so professional, and I will never ever call them again.

January 24, 2021

I am totally disappointed with their lack of response & lack of Hawkes taking full responsibility for inferior work done on our stone steps & Over pricing of their estimate -Double- actually!!!! We have 2 other quotes for the work Hawkes estimate is twice theirs with a fake offer of taking 50% of the cost! -Amazingly brazen & profiteering stand offering To redo work after only 4 years & after overcharging us 15000$ for pervious inferior work done I will be posting on Nextdoor App & warning Brookfield neighbours from using any of their services Disgusting Lack of professional responsibility & horrendous overcharging

Hawks has done my landscaping for the past thirty years at three different properties in Brookfield. Outstanding designs to meet and exceed our stated objectives. Landscape designers always extremely responsive to our vision and concerns. Landscape crew chiefs responsive to our (and our neighbors) concerns. Always left the property neat and tidy during and at the completion of each project. Work done as promised and when promised. Never additional unexpected surcharges. Have always exceeded our very high expectations. Most recent project required approval of and coordination with our condominium association, which commented on Hawks (Gary Urbans) knowledge of plants and landscape issues, as well as his responsiveness and receptiveness to the Associations concerns. Would unqualifiedly recommend Gary Urban and Hawks Landscape to anyone seeking to enhance (or maintain) their property!

Sales representative was not completely forward about the the length of the contract. Very hard to get a hold of a customer service. You get a notice about next day upcoming appointment in the afternoon. That makes it hard to reschedule. Hard to just stop the service going forward. You have to call them. Emails are not enough. Technicians are fine, but because they seems to be in a hurry sometimes the driveway will have leftover fertilizer.

Poor selection of plants. Perennials didnt make it to the next year. Bushes extremely woody....reused from another removal job? Design did not disguise unattractive elements as asked. Whatever didnt die the next year was pulled out due to its unattractive growth and position. Very poor planning and unskilled, amateur design. You are not getting the landscape designers you hear good things about at this price. You are getting amateurs at best. Waste of money. Did it myself anyway. Never again.

We had a very good experience with Hawks Landscape. The landscaped our new backyard - buried sump pump line, planted all the flower beds & mulched, leveled and planted a new lawn, removed old concrete slabs and piles of stones and removed about 7 tree stumps - all for a reasonable price. Everything looks great!
