Had a great experience with Hawkeye Landscaping. Worked with Connor for the initial quote, then Daniel and his team for the landscaping work. They came and replaced an entire irrigation system that was installed by Turf Monsters less than two years ago. I wish I would have found Hawkeye from the beginning. They were much more professional and did great work.
If you are choosing between Turf Monsters and Hawkeye, it is a no brainer. Hawkeye every time.

Kathleen Dempsey7 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Kathleen has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Hawkeye transformed our rock covered back yard with a large swath of luscious artificial turf with a paver border. They also added three paver pads we requested: one a round area for a future fountain; another semi circular one extending from one end of our patio for our grill, and another squarish for our trash and recycle bins. Our contact, Connor, suggested adding some low voltage lighting, which we agreed and are so happy and impressed with the whole look of it. It was the worst of the summer but Hawkeye’s crew was professional and efficient. The work areas were kept as neat as possible, given the type of project it was.
We’d highly recommend Hawkeye and Connor Burns to bring your vision to life.

Faris Dahdal8 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Faris has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We did our due diligence and had three different companies come to our home and talk about our wants/needs for the project. I also said, “Show us something we aren’t thinking of, or in a different way.” Connor, our designer did just that!
We broke up our project into two phases (patio first and then the rest of the yard.). Not once did they try and push and get us to do the entire project at the same time and respected our desire to have it done in phases.
The execution of the design Connor created was incredible to witness. Hawkeye’s crews are top notch and we are so happy a neighborhood friend recommended them. So from me to the reader of this review….hire them!!
