HAWKEYE LANDSCAPE

Owner Geri Elfman took my sad, poorly-designed back yard landscaping from an unlovely irritant to a dry climate oasis. I had so much fun working with her to create a lovely space, filled with plants that are appropriate to the Southern California climate and that will require very little work from me going forward. As a big fan of pretty rocks, we put in a stone planter and lined the other planting beds with the same rocks. The ugly, pitted concrete patio is now beautiful flagstone. She suggested we get a small bolder of the same rock type, bore a hole through it, and create a unique and natural fountain as a focal point - that's been such a fun addition! But best of all, she's extremely knowledgeable about the types of plants that work in this climate, how large they will be at full growth, and where in the yard each plant will thrive. She certainly saved me from making costly mistakes if I'd tried to design this myself. Her landscape team did a great job. I'm loving the results!

We love our newly transformed back yard! It went from a weedy lawn with numerous kid's play structures to a serene space that adults as well as kids are attracted to explore. We use the space so much more now that the patchy grass is gone replaced by succulents that bloom, dynamic boulders and inviting dramatic giant pavers for walkways. The boulder rock waterfall attracts birds who need a drink and our dogs like it too. Our guests have commented on the tranquility they feel in the new backyard. When we decided to add a new stairway to the upper fruit garden, Geri used the leftover brick from the demolition of the borders to create a stairway that is finally safe to use. Geri's workmen were fabulous. They arrived on time and worked very hard despite the heat. They are all skilled and experienced craftsmen with pavers and boulders. They cleverly used leftover materials to solve a drainage issue that saves water and looks good as well. Geri seamlessly combined the best of our existing garden with the new plantings and installations. It looks like it was all planned this way years ago instead of just a few months ago. We highly recommend Hawkeye Landscape Design.

We are so thrilled to have worked with Hawkeye Landscape Design. Geri listened to our thoughts and ideas for our front and back yards. She made a design which incorporated our ideas. Geri walked us through the process of renovation. She was on site everyday. Her team is incredible. They do amazing work. From retaining walls, dry stone walls, stairs and patios all are done with expertise. Our yard transformed into a serene, beautiful garden planted with drought tolerant plants that looks so inviting. We enjoy walking through our lovely garden everyday. We recommend Geri and her Hawkeye team to anyone. When we have further landscaping needs, we will definitely contact Hawkeye Landscape Design.

Reliable, knowledgeable, conscientious and pleasant to work with.

We had about a quarter acre of yard that needed to be cleared of leaves and weeds. The team of four were prompt, professional, and efficient. They did an outstanding job, would definitely hire again!
