Their team was professional and exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend them for any landscaping needs. If you’re looking for them to complete work that meets or exceeds your expectations, then Gary and his team are the ones for you! **★★★★★ — Gerald Stilp, March 2019** > Dedicated workers, talented designers, and quality products all come with Hawks Landscape, Inc. when you hire them for your project. **★★★★★ — John & Marilyn Breidster, March 2019** > Hawks is the best in design, workmanship and follow through. We have used Hawks for many years and will continue! Mary Kowalski and Amy Willard are the very, very best! They are very detailed oriented and have wonderful designs and plant selections, We couldn’t be more satisfied! **★★★★★ — Judith Smith, March 2019** > We were VERY happy with Hawks. It was a smaller job but they worked with us as if we were spending thousands of dollars. I loved it that I was able to e mail Mike and in no time at all received an answer and could change my mind as often as I wanted. From start to finish we worked together and they really have great vision to help you especially if you have trouble figuring out what would look best. The workers were the most wonderful people we have dealt with, we just couldn't believe how caring they were and the wonderful job they did. We are thinking of having them do more work for us. Tried other companies but they couldn't compare with Hawks in ideas, price and fun to work with. **★★★★★ — ndreske, March 2019** > Hawks created a beautiful outdoor living space for us. We had specific requests, a fire pit, room fo 2 patio tables and acces to our remodeled family room. The did it all and wer extremely professional. We highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Stephen Roell, March 2019** > We've used Hawks landscaping on our home for over 13 years where Mary K has been our primary contact and provider of services. Great communications. She listens well and has always been responsive to our needs. Good problem solver and advisor. It's also nice to have continuity in the staff that know your tastes and history of the plantings. **★★★★★ — hasimuffin, July 2015** > We just finished our front yard update with Hawks and are thrilled with the results. I called 5 local landscapers for quotes. Hawks gave us the best options and worked with our budget-- giving us choices so that we could pick what was most important to us and also designed the plan so that we could do it in phases. The crew was wonderful, and our designer Cindy is fabulous. She took my ideas and pictures (thanks Houzz) and made it come to life- while still keeping in our budget . I can not say enough good things about the work they did. **★★★★★ — Piper Plummer, March 2015** > Hawks and Katie have been working with us for several years and at two homes. We have done several projects with them - from large to small - and have never had anything but a pleasant experience. I recommend them to my friends often. The most recent project was a redo of an existing patio. We hardly used patio as it was brick laid and very uneven...just not a pleasure to use or to look at. The redo has provided us with a fabulous outdoor area to enjoy for many months out of the year - even in Wisconsin. **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2015** > Hawks not only provided us with a beautiful oasis but, they also eliminated the Spring flooding that occured in our basement and yard each year. Their landscape design staff are very talented and geared their designs with our wants and needs in mind, besides considering soil conditions and appropriate plants/trees for our climate zone. We wanted our water issues solved - which they did. We wanted to attract birds, especially hummingbirds, and butterflies - which they did. All this and staying within our budget. Hawks install teams are courteous and very talented in their own right. You can have all the great designs in the world, but the installers take beauty from paper and apply it to the land. I cannot say enough good things about Hawks Landscape, Inc. Our relationship with this company has spanned over the years with annual projects. Our property is an award winning oasis of beauty! **★★★★★ — velleonardo, Feb. 2015** > The latest landscaping project provided by Hawks under the design and direction of Gary Urban involved the removal and disposal of 7 Junipers and replacement with 5 Hetz Junipers followed by mulch placement in the area. **★★★★★ — cowboy494, Feb. 2015** > We have contracted with Hawks to maintain the grounds and parking lot around our building for many years. Their winter crews come in, installing markers around our parking lot, snow removal and salting after any storms, their seasonal crews take excellent care of the spring clean-up, maintaining the trees and shubs, the lawn care and trimming to ensure a professional apperance. In addition making recommendations for preventative issues as needed. I would highly recommend their services. **★★★★★ — karenonan, Feb. 2015** > Hawks Landscape, Inc. was awesome to work with! After we completed an addition on the back of our house, they worked with us to design our backyard landscape in order to incorporate not only the addition, but also a new egress window. Steve at Hawks came out to meet with us several times, listened to what we wanted, and came up with some recommendations for us. He then worked with us to fine tune the plan in order to accommodate both the budget and our changes. > Hawks did all the design, construction and installation work, encompassing earth moving, installation of boulders for retaining walls, pouring the patio, installing all the plantings and seeding the entire backyard. They also provided us with a detailed care guide for all our new plantings. > It was a pleasure to work with everyone at Hawks, and especially with Steve, who made sure to keep in contact with us through a number of weather delays this past spring. We really felt that he went above and beyond when working with us on this project. We highly recommend using Hawks for your project! ## Selected projects - [Jose's Blue Sombrero - Brookfield](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jose-s-blue-sombrero-brookfield-pj-vj~2898099) - Location: Brookfield, WI - Photos: 9 - [Shorewood Patio 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shorewood-patio-2-pj-vj~2900273) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Waukesha Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waukesha-patio-pj-vj~2898377) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Wauwatosa Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wauwatosa-patio-pj-vj~2897931) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Whitefish Bay Front Walk](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whitefish-bay-front-walk-pj-vj~874842) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: A new front walk way dresses up this front yard and is a subtle color contrast to the light brick on the home. Unilock Rivenstone concrete pavers were used for the walk with a Brussels paver border. Two Limestone columns add dimension and interest to the front entrance.

Truly Wisconsin paradise! - [Menomonee Falls Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/menomonee-falls-patio-pj-vj~868219) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: Client originally just had a rectangle paver patio, but desired a larger space including a fire pit, seat wall, and grill area.

A: That's a Weeping Pussy Willow Tree **Q: What is the name of the plant on the arbor?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Sweet Autumn Clematis **Q: snow?** *(in Photo Questions)* how does the path put up with snow or snow removal? has the owner had any issues with tracking in stones into the house? how to prevent that problem? how do gravel pathways respond to being on a hillside? how steep? thanks from a fellow milwaukeean A: Good questions. The snow was not an issue in this situation as the home owners do not clear these paths in winter. If you were to shovel crushed stone a walk, it could become a bit messy. Snow blowing at a higher setting might be better. The home owner did have issues with the stone getting tracked into the house despite the concrete patio that separates the paths from the house. Since this photo was taken we've switched out the crushed stone for flagstone with gator dust in the joints in order to avoid that problem. Crushed stone for a path on a hillside may not be the best option depending on how much water flows down the slope in rainstorms. Erosion may be an issue. Good luck! :) **Q: What are the taller green shrubs in the middle?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Its a local (Wisconsin) stone, sometimes called "Spardust". It is crushed granite from central Wisconsin. **Q: WHAT ARE THE PLANTS IN FRONT OF THE BIRDBATH BY THE PATH** *(in Photo Questions)* A: There is a bench near the center of the photo that may look like a birdbath because part of it is hidden. The plant next to it and by the path is Walker's Low Catmint. **Q: Plant I.D?** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the small tree left foreground? A: The tree in the left foreground is a Weeping Pussy Willow tree on standard. Hardy to about zone 3. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
