We chose Hawkins to build our dream pool After researching other pool companies, we chose Hawkins to build our dream pool. We did have the benefit of experiencing a Hawkings pool though a friend who was very satisfied with Hawkings, so we too entrusted Hawkings to build ours. From the design, through the construction and material choices, we relied on Hawkings for their opinions and expertise and I am so glad we did. The pool turned out awesome. We have a relatively narrow back yard, and it was slightly sloped as well so I wasn't sure what could be done design wise. Jeff designed a lap pool that tucked up nicely the backyard fence garden and retaining wall. He also designed a beautiful concrete paver patio that extends from the back of the house to the pool. The pool dimensions turn out to be 48' long by 8' wide 3.5'-4.5' deep. A perfect 1 lane lap pool. We relied on Jeff for all of the material suggestions, the Tahoe blue finish with blue tile work and dark gray auto-cover finishes the pool nicely. A major concern I had was how to get an excavator down our very narrow side yard. As it turned out, we had to temporarily remove our air conditioning unit to allow for a small 4' excavator to allow access to the back yard. Since the construction started mid September, we only had one day where we missed the A/C. It only took 3.5 days to excavate the pool using this small excavator. Gary our project manager was always available and when it came time to put in the pool equipment, we changed our minds on its location to the opposite end of our yard. Gary and team were able to rally around this change in requirement and accomplished this task without delaying the project. The rest of construction went smoothly. We were swimming by the end of January in our heated pool. Absolutely awesome. In addition to the lap pool we had a patio build that extended the entire width of the house and from the back doors all the way to the pool's edge. The team built a very smooth and tight paver patio that drains very fast when it rains. We are very pleased. I can't say enough about the professionalism of all involved with this project. I would highly recommend Hawkings Pools / Dana Lund Landscaping and all the subcontractors used who specialize in pool construction. If you want quality, then Hawkings is good value. read more

We just wrapped up on pool install with Hawkins and are so pleased with the process and result. We started getting bids for pools back in 2022, and after kicking tires for 2+ years, finally contacted with Hawkins towards the end of last year. Their bid wasn't the highest or the lowest, but given their reputation in the area, and having met with the John Rose to discuss the project, we felt most comfortable with them, and saw their pricing as having the most value. Once we contracted, they quickly got our design together, and submitted to Walnut Creek. John had warned us on WC's turn around, and they were able to secure the permit earlier than they had warned. At the start of the project John arranged a meeting with his team, and the excavators to make sure everyone was aligned on the exact location, and all considerations were taken for the final elevation of the pool, drainage, etc. Our project was managed by Gary, who as as excellent a communicator as I've experienced with a contracter. We always knew what was going on, and what was coming next. As the project went on, we also decided to have our full backyard designed by Hawkins. We had already met with Jeff Jones for the design of our pool, and materials selection, and had a ton of trust that he would design backyard layout that we would love. We could not be happier with what he put together and the end result. Steven was also wonderful to work with, and kept us in the loop on upcoming steps and when we needed to take action with decisions for the project. Every crew that showed up, including excavation, steel, plumping, electrical, and gunite were all professional and from everything i could tell provided great workmanship. At the completion of the project John circled back with us to walk the job and make sure everything was delivered as expected. Thank you Hawkins team, this was a big investment for us and with that come a lot of nerves....we could not be happier and are looking forward to years of enjoyment for our family! read more

Overall we were very happy with John and the Hawkins team. The quality of work is top notch and the suggestions they made turned out beautiful. There were a few low spots where water collected after the initial pavers were laid but the team cam back in and corrected it within a week and it held up great during the latest round of rain. One thing to note is we had some initial communication issues but John and Gary cleared that up immediately. The project was professionally run and the work was outstanding. read more

After onsite evaluation with a handful of swimming pool construction companies, we decided to go with Hawkins, which turned out to be a very good choice. Different from some other companies, the founders of Hawkins participated in our project during the whole process. Jeff is the designer for the pool and he went a few rounds with revisions according to our HOA which is really nitpicking sometimes. Not to mention he spent quite sometime at our dinning to make sure he addressed all our requirements and concerns. And he also went through with us about selecting materials for coping, waterline, pebbletec color etc. At their showroom, we certainly spent quite a better part of the whole afternoon going back and forth until satisfied with our choice. I was impressed by the other founder John as well as he immediately jumped to google earth to find what the place we were going to build the swimming pool looks like and gave me a rather close estimate before they even visited the site. Jeff and John paid a couple of visits just to make sure that the routing of the gas and electricity is both cost effective and cosmetically beautiful to the eyes. The work they did certainly is both of high quality and meticulousness. We had quite a few company measure the lot so to calculate the estimated cost and they are the only one that found there was an inch elevation difference from the middle to the edge in our concrete pavement and they match the eventual deck with that so you can't see the difference at all. The travertine tile for the deck was picked as the same as our exiting pavement and their workers even cut it to the shapes that matched our existing pattern as well. That's called craftsmanship, you know. Their project planner Steve and Onsite Supervisor Gary also did a fantastic job. Steve made sure that we were aware of what's coming up and what we needed to do, especially when we were ready to fill the pool and also need to brush the bottom and sides of the pool. Gary made sure that everything was in order and all the inspections were passed and always gave us a heads up, especially those that need our attention eg letting neighbors know we're having pouring of concrete that may disrupt traffic etc. He solved some issues for us as small as fixing the cracks on a few tiles, and as large as moving equipment inside our yard so it would not be exposed and stolen lol... Their service team is fantastic too especially Gus who answered our questions always timely. We thus decided to have them maintain and service our pool weekly. Unlike some other contractors who would not care too much once it's done, John walked through the other us and took our feedback seriously. He even proposed to educate his staff when we mentioned a few yard lights were cut by mistake and some grasses were dead by being covered by the tiny clay rocks they dug up while putting down pipes. You could think these are not big deals given it's such huge project. But they really showed interest in improving for future projects. Anyway, I recommend them without reservation and you will get a beautiful pool at the end. What's not to like? The swimming pool read more

Wonderful work product; professional; and super easy to deal with. Very happy with our pool plus spa plus landscaping. Hawkins is NOT going to be the cheapest out there, but they have a very solid reputation (two friends used them before us and recommended them), so we went with them. Money well spent! Gary, the project manager, should in particular be commended for his responsiveness, professionalism, and expertise. Jeff, the planner, was extremely focused on our wants: simplicity and in line with our Eichler home. They always took cost into consideration. Thanks again! read more

Overall we were very happy with the Hawkins team. We did a full large scale pool remodel, new plumbing, coping, decking, lighting, pool equipment, pebbletech, the works. The craftsmanship and final product is fantastic. John and team were very responsive to our calls, emails, questions, and any issues that came up along the way. Now I set my spa to pre-heat on my pool app during my commute home. Good stuff! read more

They are a licensed and insured contractor, and their team of experienced professionals is committed to providing their customers with the highest level of service. Our Experience We recently had Hawkins Pools remodel our pool, build an outdoor pavilion, and completely relandscape our yard. We were very impressed with the entire process from start to finish. The Planning Process We met with the designer, Jeff, to discuss our needs and goals. He was very easy to work with and took the time to understand our vision for our outdoor space. He then created a detailed plan of action and provided us with a realistic estimate of the cost.

The crew was very professional and clean, and they took great care of our property. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the materials and workmanship.

Let me start from the beginning. I called several pool companies and I will tell you some don't even return your call. We bought our dream home and the pool needed to be renovated and I did a lot of social research. All fingers pointed to Hawkins. We met with the owner John Rose and he basically told me I could not have what I wanted. He said he couldn't guarantee the work. I changed the narrative. I let him guide me and -asked what would be safe to renovate. The bid was to the penny and if we came across unexpected surprises which we did they were done at cost. We especially enjoyed working with Jeff Jones on the design. He really understood what we wanted. Our yard looks like a hotel resort and just takes my breath away. We are looking forward to making lots of fun family memories there. read more

Putting in a pool was the best decision we ever made. We looked at a number of contractors, but as soon as we met with John, we knew we were going to Hawkins. John, Jeff, Steven, Mike, and the whole team were so great to work with. We tore out our whole backyard, created a design on paper and saw it come to life. The team at Hawkins were always available to answer our questions, kept us in the loop with all changes, and were just pleasure to work with. I can't say enough about John and his team. Did I mention, putting in a pool was the best decision ever?!! read more

We had our pool built during 2021, which was a difficult year for everyone. The pandemic caused numerous construction delays, due to supply chain problems, which was frustrating, but understandable. We really appreciated Jeff's attention to the artistic details (there were so many things we wouldn't have thought of), Mike's attention to the structural details (going above and beyond when we ran into a soil issue), and Gary's attention to customer satisfaction. Steven worked with us the entire time to keep us informed and helped keep the schedule moving. Like any large project, there were a couple of fit and finish issues. Hawkins responded quickly and addressed them to our satisfaction. We really love our beautiful pool, and have had an enormous amount of fun in it already. read more

If you are looking for someone reputable to design you an amazing pool and build it super well with no contractor BS, then this is the company for you. I researched a bunch of pool builders and learned a lot about the process and the players. It came down to Hawkins and another company. Both would have built a great product but the design of Hawkins was way better and the price was about $30,000 less. Their designer is amazing and really understood the more modern/contemporary feel we were looking for from the project. All the subcontractors were super dialed. Always neat and tidy and clearly knew what they were doing. The rep from Hawkins who is on site and oversees everything is a little old school in that he doesn't do texts or emails but he was responsive on the phone. One benefit that gets overlooked too much is the fact that Hawkins owns their own landscape company that's separate from the pool company (so it's not pool guys doing your landscaping). As I write this review, most landscape guys are about 6 months out from beginning any new project which means your pool could be done and it's surrounded by dirt. With Hawkins, they put you to the front of the line and make sure your whole project gets done in a timely manner. Pool and landscape one stop shop. I stand behind these guys because they stand behind their work. The owner, John, is on site multiple times during a project and always does a final walk through to make sure you're satisfied. Its just a good product from good people. You won't be disappointed. read more

We hired Hawkins Pools to design and build a backyard rejuvenation that included and new pool, spa, pavilion, and all new landscaping. What enticed us, other than friends' recommendations, was the all-in-one approach to our project. Hawkins designs the project with you, obtains the permits, does all the excavation, builds the pool/spa, builds the pavilion, does all the landscaping, and puts down the pavers. Despite the large scope of this project, it was a delightful and painless process due to the professionalism and expertise of everyone involved. Through each phase, we had a contact person that was responsive, helpful, and wonderful to work with. Jeff Jones helped us redesign our whole backyard. He pushed back on some of our bad ideas with explanations and reasons stemming from his vast experience and artist background. Mike Baker was our contractor and was a delight to work with. He is old school, no nonsense, with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Anything we asked him to do was met with, "We can do that," followed by explanations on what we might like and not like about the changes/additions. We greatly appreciated his frankness and his "can-do" attitude, as well as his ability to run a tight ship with so many moving parts. Marco Bazan, with Dana Lund Landscaping was also a wonderful point person for our landscaping and paver installation. Once again there was nothing we asked for that he didn't make happen. Going above and beyond was Joel Orduñez, who came in on a Saturday to oversee the plantings of several fruit trees as we were away and were concerned for our new irrigation system. Gary is kind, hard working, and invested in the best outcome of the project and your happiness. This was a wonderful experience, from start to very delayed finish, due to the craftsmanship, pride, and communication of everyone on the Hawkins team. We would hire them again and feel confident that should we need anything in the future, they would respond and address our needs immediately. Thank you, Hawkins, we love our new backyard!! read more

We hired Hawkins to build a pool in our limited space in the back yard. Jeff design magic was very evident at the beginning and then came into reality at the end. John has always been very responsive and involved in the whole project. I really like the whole crew, Mike, Gary, Steven are also great at what they do. They are very capable in their own area. Dana crew was also great : shoutouts to Angel, Frans and Marco. Overall it was a great experience. It was long due to global issues but they finished in late July (a month earlier than the original ETA). I would hire them again in a heart-beat. read more

What a great pool company. Everything they promised they delivered. We started the process of seeking a pool builder with the highest reputation and best fit for our needs. Initially we met with their pool designer. He gave us several custom options to choose for our pool. Once we decided on the design, the pool was completed in just a few months. The entire pool building process happened very quick, efficiently, and with as little stress as possible. read more

Hawkins was one of 5-6 pool, landscape, and pavilion construction contractors that we met with before choosing Hawkins. They impressed us with their willingness to sit down with us and discuss our dream design that ultimately worked within our budget. Hawkins helped with a full redesign and managed and led the entire process (Pool + hardscape + pavilion). The construction process was not without some delays and minor hiccups. Whenever we raised our hand for help or with concerns, Steven, Gary, or John were attentive and addressed those issues in a time that was under their control. The final product was fantastic and we are in love with our new backyard. read more

We are so grateful for the professionalism, craftsmanship and hardworking team at Hawkins! They transformed our backyard into a resort-like space. During these crazy times, it's so nice to have such a beautiful space to relax in! They started this year at about the same time as the SIP orders and, to our surprise, they kept pretty much on schedule. They always kept us apprised of the activities along the way and always seemed to deliver any news (good or bad) as soon as it was known. We also enjoyed working with the entire team - very responsive, pleasant and honest! They really showed how much pride they take in their work! We'll definitely contact them for any future projects! Thank you, John, Jeff, Mike, Steven and the rest of the crew!!! read more

Let's start by saying that it is not my custom to leave anything but outstanding reveiws, but here goes. We had Hawkins qoute our pool replaster with all new equipment. Their bid was frankly the highest we received, but we signed up with them do to the fact their reputation was excellent, the promise of excellent communication and project management. In late Nov. 2020, we signed the contract with Brent (General Manager at Hawkins) and he stated that he would PM the project and keep us aware of every move. Over the course of a few weeks, Brent gave me a date (the first week of Jan. 2021) that two workers would be out to drain our pool. Guess what - that was delayed a couple of days. Not a big deal as we were told of the delay by email AFTER I inquired about the schedule myself. That time, I again stated we needed noticifaction a couple days ahead of time to let us know what to expect and on what day. These two guys also left a Hawkings sign on our front lawn with asking me permission - that was a big no-no due to Blackhawk HOA rules and this firm knew it. The result was that the HOA took the sign and warned me. When the workers arrived, I again stated that I would need to know when they would be showing up and the supervisor ( I guess he was the supervisor) said he would talk to Brent. I also contacted Brent and now he said that he would not be supervising or PM'ing the project and I had to talk to his superintendent (not what was promised or what we paid for in the overhead and supervision cost of the contract.) A few days later, two guys showed up with no advance notice to remove all the pool equipment, so I called Brent to tell him in the future that WE REQUIRED notice before anyone stepped foot on our property and that a call/email/text with no response. About a week later, two more guys showerd up again with no advance notice. I again called and emailed both Brent and this time emailed the owner of Hawkins Enterprises and got a reply from the owner that Brent never promised to PM the project and that this was how they did business. At the end of the email response from the owner, he stated politiely and honorably offered that if we were unhappy that could mutally cancel the contract after our paying for what was done to that point. End of story, we mutually canceled the contract, we paid Hawkins over $1500 to drain our pool, drill a few holes in it, take all of our pool equipment, and place a few plugs so the piping can be pressure checked ( the pressure check was never done). Was I happy? You tell me, but it's sad that firm with so many reviews from people that left them such high praise gave a client (us) such poor service. I'm sure that Hawkins would have done a beautiful job on our pool as they subcontracted everything to other contractors. We have no issues with their owner as he got involved as soon as I noitified him of the issue and is an outstanding and very honorable man, but we could not and would not put up anyone (salesperson, PM, or whatever) that has the attitude that they could send workers out to our property any time they wanted and without a simple text, email or call to us in advance. We have hired another local pool contractor and so far so good. Great communication and they took a great deal of time to help us pick our tile, the wet edge material, as well as adding a UV sterialization unit. Again, I know we'll have a beautiful pool and I fully plan on giving them a 5 star review as I know they will deserve it. Side note - the pool will now be completed for over $8000 cheaper that with Hawkins and work starts in April - 4 months later than planned, but live and learn.. read more

We used Hawkins to put in a new in ground pool. We met with numerous contractors and from the first interaction to the last, everyone was extremely professional, polite and skilled in their area of expertise. The process was organized with defined roles and responsibilities. Communication was always timely and clear. It was easy to tell that these teams had many years (decades) of experience. Some aspects that really stood out: * they are organized. From the initial scope phone call, to arriving on time, to the clear communication and updates. It helped set our expectations and ensure full alignment between our vision and the final outcome. * they took care of it all. So many other contractors had limitations, stating we would need to be responsible for coordinating subcontractors or solar on our own. Hawkins took care of the entire project (and has a pool service option as well). * the professionalism and genuine kindness far exceeded that of any other contractor we've ever worked with. The contract was established up front and all communications were honest and trustworthy. It was daunting to select a company for such a large project, but we are so happy to have worked with Hawkins. Our experience was extremely positive and the manner in which they operate leave us to believe that is the case for all their customers. We highly recommend Hawkins. read more

We used Hawkins for a new pool/spa, artificial turf, tiled patio and outdoor kitchen. Everything turned out great. In the beginning we worked with Jeff on the design. He did a good job understanding our tastes and the things we wanted out of the project then put together a good design given our smaller odd shaped yard. Jeff also took us to a tile shop to look at all the options and choose the various tiles that would be in the overall project. Once the project got going it was great working with the project managers Mike and Gary. They were both on site often and always available for questions, explaining what was going on . They were also very flexible when we wanted to make a few changes on the fly as the project came together. Steven in the office kept us informed of key dates and the next steps in the project. Overall we're super happy with how it all turned out and would highly recommend Hawkins. read more

Hawkins Pools (aka Enterprises) is literally THE Premiere backyard remodel company in the entire region. From start to finish of our large backyard remodel, Brent and Jeff (amazing designer) oversaw the implementation of our dream yard! This was a full hardscape remodel (travertine, firepit, outdoor kitchen) and pool remodel (resurface, repair, update everything)... and we have been nothing but impressed with their skill, professionalism and communication skills. The subcontractors they use are on point and extremely skilled. Anyone who sees our yard (and post COVID vaccinations more and more will) are in awe of the transformation Hawkins has pulled off! Even during COVID when the city dragged their feet on approvals/inspections etc... yes it took about 6 months, but it was all worth it! We literally can't look out the window or walk outside without smiling... thanks again guys!!!! read more

I was refurbishing my pool, and went with Hawkins as they initially installed it 25 years ago. It turns out the company was since sold and is now very different. The subs used were all outstanding (Burkett for pebble, LeakFinders, PoolCoversInc), but everything Hawkins did (pool equipment, electrical, lighting, coping repair) all had to be re-done by someone else, at my expense. The scheduling was a nightmare, my pool being drained in June but no work being done until after the summer because it was more convenient for Hawkins. The employees are difficult to deal with, the Hawkins foreman actually yelled at me, not once but twice, so loud the workers had to turn off their jackhammers.

After several weeks of research, we decided to contact Hawkins Pools. John the owner came out to meet our family and look at our property. The meeting exceeding our expectations. We didn't feel any pressure at all and it never felt like a "sales call". He listened to all of our questions, made some great suggestions, and left us feeling extremely confident in our decision to work with Hawkins Pools. We felt that this was a company that had integrity and that we could trust. We started our pool project just as the construction industry was being cleared to resume. Jeff is truly an artist when it comes to pool design and landscaping ideas. Steven in the office was incredible, coordinating all of the phases flawlessly. There was never any down time on our project. Mike, the project manager brings decades of experience and expertise to every job. Gary came often, keeping everything around the job in order and clean - often during the hottest days of the summer. The entire team was always in constant communication with us every step of the way. If we had questions someone on the team was immediately getting back to us with answers. All of the subcontractors were incredibly polite and professional - and went to great lengths to protect our lawn and other areas of the property as they moved heavy equipment from the street to the backyard. From the very first design meeting to the final inspection we couldn't have asked for a better team of professionals to go through this process with. Our family LOVES this pool! We are so happy with everything and have had so many compliments. We are looking forward to many years of enjoyment! read more

We used Hawkins for two prior pool and hardscape projects at our previous homes and chose to use them again for a third time at our current house. This project was a little different as it did not include a pool or spa, but did include a pavilion and outdoor cooking and entertainment space. We worked with Jeff through a series of design concepts until we finally achieved what we were trying to accomplish; Jeff was very patient with each change that we incorporated. Hawkins dealt with all aspects of permitting and getting approval from our HOA. Our home exterior is a traditional design and we wanted the outdoor space to be more contemporary. With guidance from John and Jeff we were able to pick the right design and materials to blend the traditional features that were remaining in our outdoor area with the new contemporary build concept. The build process went flawlessly and and any unexpected issues were addressed in a timely manner and priced fairly. We are very happy with the end result which has created a flexible outdoor entertaining space that integrates well with multiple access points into the house and includes BBQ area, serving counter with storage, dining area, sectional couch seating with a fireplace, and radiant heating throughout. I would highly recommend that you speak with Hawkins for the project your are considering and compare their work and value to any other company in the bay area! read more

We contracted a pool with hawkins pools. The ceo john rose came out and made a promise he did not back-up. This was in regards to the dig out "excavation" for the pool. John Rose stated "the highest we have ever seen in this area is $12,000" " your dig certainly will not exceed this" John was wrong - he came back to us with a bill of over $20,000. What was worse is the way John handled the aftermath. Stating we were wrong and that he never said such a thing. We were highly dissapointed - we paid John his money. Our next slap in the face from John was the building of our spa. The rocks that go around the perimeter of spa were not built to plans. The rocks covered half of the entry step into the spa. You could only use half the step when entering the spa. When we discovered this gross error. It was like pulling teeth to get this fixed. John came out to the house and said "it's beautiful". We could not believe he had the audacity to say this. We had to show him the original plans for him to budge. Otherwise we would of been stuck with paying more money. For a entry step that was being blocked covered by a boulder !??!? The workers left cigarette butts in our driveway and in backyard (we have pictures). They ran into our tree's and tore down branches. They ran into our basketball hoop. Tearing off the rubber pad and now the basketball hoop does not function the same. Keep in mind John the ceo originally denied all of this in an email. Saying their is no way my guys would do this. John did this the entire time during the project. We still have a rock in one of our spa jets. We have asked at least five xs for this to be removed. It has not! We had to terminate their pool cleaning service. Due to algae growing in pool. In addition to the algae they put chlorine in our pool the day of a pool party we were having. We went out of our way to make sure it was not done the day of the party. Thanks hawkins thanks a lot! Their is so much more to this experience with Hawkins and their CEO. John sent us a letter stating he "INTENDS TO FORECLOSE ON OUR HOUSE" We just want work to be finished, debris hauled away and new basketball hoop installed. We wish we never went with Hawkins. In our opinion it is the worst service we have ever received when it comes to a home improvement project. They were the most expensive out all of our bids. We Literally have had some nightmares when it comes to this experience. If anyone else has had similar experience - please contact me. read more

Our project consisted of a pool with spa and a pavilion with kitchen and fireplace/pit. The resulting project surpassed all of our expectations. The entire team was a pleasure to work with from day one until completion. They have the highest reputation and it is well deserved. I would highly recommend Hawkins Pools. read more

I'm thankful to have found Hawkins Pools and to work with them to build my swimming pool. My wife and I had such an enjoyable experience with the entire team. Throughout the years, we've dealt with many contractors and have gotten accustomed to delays, mishaps and oversights. This is the first time where things went pretty smooth, but when there were minor problems, the team went above and beyond to resolve them. From the beginning, they were focused on service as their president, John, came out to the house to do the initial greeting and assessment. Throughout the build, he was always checking in to ensure things were going smooth. This is our first swimming pool, so it's difficult to determine the potential issues with each build decision. With Hawkins, I sat with their designer, Jeff, and he made many suggestions and built a design that integrated with the theme of our home. He definitely nailed it. The design flowed with our interior and was build seamlessly with the different constraints in our backyard, such as the steep slope. The biggest thing I was satisfied with was with their communication. It was clear when things were going to get done, when various modifications needed to be locked down and how build issues were going to get resolved. I know builds don't go exactly as planned, but it's how issues are resolved and how proper solutions are implemented. Their project coordinator, Dedra, was with us all the way to navigate the entire process. She was excellent and pushed through the minor issues along the way. We couldn't be happier with our decision and the end product. Thanks, Hawkins! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. After dealing with a stressful remodel of our interior, we selected Hawkins to do our pool and outdoor pavilion. Not only was their workmanship amazing, their crews were all super professional and Hawkins went above and beyond even after the project was completed to make sure we were satisfied. Unlike our other construction projects, we did not have to micromanage their crew and they were always available and responsive to our questions or feedback. If you want an amazing pool or outdoor space without all the stress of construction, I'd highly recommend Hawkins! Mike is the absolute best! read more

If we had to do this all again.... ....we would, without hesitation, choose Hawkins for our backyard project! Yes, they're that good! In brief, we sit on a lot close to 0.4 acres and wanted to renovate the backyard so our family of 5 would actually use it. We spoke with three different, local, highly reputable pool companies and chose Hawkins to design and construct our new pool & spa, detached open-air pavilion with kitchen (500 sq ft), firepit, associated hardscape and full landscaping. We chose them based on our belief in getting value for our money (not looking for the least expensive as we believe you get what you pay for), and for someone that was experienced in managing the entire project across all the phases without us having to project manage anything. Hawkins delivered on that, and we're so happy with the outcome! It was only due to fantastic project management that we managed to get through the pool, pavilion & kitchen and hardscape before the shelter order.....giving us a chance to really see, feel and enjoy the quality of Hawkins' work in these last 2+ months. From the discussion of our vision and our needs with Jeff, the master designer, to seeing it on a plan, to watching it materialize in our backyard, the entire process was super seamless, and very turnkey for us....while still being one-of-a-kind and totally suited to our style. John Rose, who owns the company, is super personable, is always available, and frequently takes the time to check in on us and the project. Their back office management of the project from scheduling to making payments was super easy to work with. On a day-to-day basis, we can easily contact their head of field operations who was also very responsive to any questions, or changes big or small. Did I mention we pivoted to the pavilion from wanting to build a basketball halfcourt after they had started demolition?? We felt really bad for this significant change after permits had been issued, but Hawkins was super accommodating and never got tired of our questions, and built us this wonderful pavilion that has been a blessing during this shelter order. We're currently in the design phase for the landscaping with their landscape designer. Will update this review once that's done, but we're experiencing the same level of translating our vision into a reality. read more

I recently had an issue which I could not resolve with the staff. I hated to bother the owner, John Rose, for such small issue but had to contact him to see if he can help. I was so surprised that less than a day of receiving my email, the issue was resolved immediately to my satisfaction. John Rose provided me with excellent customer service, and I thank him for his quick resolution. read more
