Native Groundworks did a phenomenal job on my back yard! We got a paver patio with landscape lighting and it fits perfectly. We also got a French drain and trees planted. Hawkins was personable and easy to work with.

Hawkins and the team at Native Groundworks are the best! They recently completed a full landscape transformation for us. French drain, grading, sod and tree planting. Communication was great, the crew was clean and organized. Final product exceeded our expectations! 10/10

This is our second year working with Hawkins. We have been extremely pleased and feel fortunate that our paths have crossed. He incorporates native plants into his designs, which puts him a step above the rest. The work he does demonstrates his knowledge of landscape design, experience, ability to work with customers, and his focus on helping homeowners restore our ecosystem.

Native Groundwork’s did a great job restoring my back yard after it was a total mess when our propane tank was dug up. They came on time when scheduled. Graded the yard, top soil and put down sod in very hot weather. The team worked hard & we are very lucky to have found a local company. Special thanks to Hawkins Howe who worked with us to make this happen.

Hawkins did a great job on the revisions to my front flower bed & the bush in NY front yard. There was a little miscommunication on one design idea so just be sure to be clear about what you want. But it still looks great!
