“Our Hawkin’s built pool always engenders “wow’s” from any visitor…so happy we had Hawkin’s handle design, construction and continued maintenance…” ~ Blackhawk

Over 35 years of experience in swimming pool design, construction, remodeling and repair services as well as landscape, pavilions, and BBQs.

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.

This is the second time we have worked with Hawkins pools, and they did not disappoint. From the initial meeting with John, and subsequent interactions with Jeff and Mike it has been a pleasure to work with these guys. Any issues/questions we had, were answered in a professional timely way. As a result, we now have a fantastic pool which we will enjoy for years to come. If you are thinking of installing a pool, go to Hawkins!

~Jane & Jared W. – Pleasanton, CA

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. 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. Overall we’re super happy with how it all turned out and would highly recommend Hawkins.
~ Robert – Moraga, CA

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! ~ S.D.

Hawkins Pools is a great company to work with. In 2020 we had them come and design a pool for our yard. Their design team really listened to our hopes and did a great pool design that fit our yard perfectly and they ensured it looked coordinated with our landscaping we had done previously. Other companies came out and provided a cookie cutter first designs, but it was clear Hawkins experience was top notch and they ideas to provide what we were hoping for. Once we started the build, they were very professional in managing schedules and their teams on property were professional and informative and even entertained our kids through the build process. After completion, the president and client service teams all checked in and continued to make sure everything was completed to our satisfaction and made sure there nothing left incomplete. I highly recommend Hawkins pools. ~ Chris C – San Francisco

We had an outstanding experience with Hawkins – we did a complete backyard remodel, including design. They made it easy for us by coordinating everything, and we had confidence throughout that we were getting the highest quality service and results. The team was really responsive, and took care of all requests, big and small. They also kept us notified regarding changes in schedule (due to rain) – we always felt up-to-date and informed. I would absolutely recommend Hawkins! ~ Mark – Pleasanton, CA

Seamless Process and Professional

Five Stars

Five stars all day long! We hired Hawkins to design and construct a pool and complete backyard renovation. They were tremendous – great architectural vision, great service, great attention to detail, and very courteous service from their staff and subcontractors. Our renovation came in at budget ahead of schedule – no small feat during a pandemic. If you are considering a pool, you MUST talk to Hawkins!!!

~ Jeff A.

Collaborative Process

Our project is finally complete and we could not be happier! We wanted to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation for all the hard work, expertise, and pride in your execution. This was, overall, a wonderful experience. We felt heard, we enjoyed the collaborative process, and we appreciated all the “can do” attitude. Every gentleman involved in the process was wonderful, polite, professional, and willing to answer any questions. Thank you and your teams for a job well done and an oasis we will be enjoying for years to come. Be well,

~ Lara – Pleasanton, CA

This is the second project that Hawkins has done for us and we couldn’t be more happy with the results. Highly recommended!

“We had Hawkins put in a pool and remodel our backyard (Dana Lund). They did a great job! They kept us posted on any delays due to the pandemic. They modified the design when we wanted changes made. Their designers put together a great pool design and landscape design that fit well with our ideas. I highly recommend them and we plan to use them when we’re ready to remodel our front yard.”

Let me begin by saying that we LOVE our new pool… even much more than we were anticipating. I’ll post a few photos of our pool so you can see the results. Prior to starting our pool, we interviewed several other prominent pool builders in the East Bay area. Since we live on a very steep hill in Diablo, we were quite selective that our pool would not only be beautiful and fun… but also skillfully engineered and constructed. Ultimately, we felt most comfortable with Hawkins Pool.

“This is by far the best company we have ever worked with. We used Hawkins Enterprises for our pool and spa remodel. Wow what a fantastic job. From the quote to the project completion, we were absolutely delighted. Wish I could give them 6 stars.”

"Professionalism and down to earth. Their easy to talk with and the presentation didn't compare with anything we had seen prior. We saw what our pool was going to look like in full drawing and architectural plans and that was a big selling point for us".

Judi & Doug, Orinda, CA

It’s been 7 years since we had our beautiful Hawkins pool designed and built and we couldn’t be happier.

Amazing Pool and Landscape Design Company. 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.

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.

Choose Hawkins for your backyard project. 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!

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!

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.

Backyard haven of beauty, relaxation, and entertainment. Read more..

If you’re looking to turn your backyard into a haven of beauty, relaxation, and entertainment, Hawkins Pools and Dana Lund Landscaping is the team to trust. From the moment we decided to undertake this project to the final unveiling, Hawkins and the Dana Lund crew delivered a backyard resort paradise that has become the envy of all our family and friends. Our project was extensive, including a new pool, spa, fire pit, seating areas, hardscape and landscape redesign. The pool centerpiece is elegant, inviting and the quality of workmanship is unmatched. They seamlessly integrated our existing outdoor kitchen, bocce court and pergolas into the new design, creating a cohesive and stylish outdoor living space. It’s perfect for hosting barbecues and gatherings, and we love how everything flows together seamlessly. The fire pit and seating areas are cozy and have added a fun and new social dimension to our backyard. The landscape redesign is equally impressive. The selection of plants, trees, and flowers has brought vibrant colors and lush greenery adding to the resort like feel. Throughout the project, the team maintained excellent communication. They kept us informed about the progress, were receptive to our ideas and concerns, and completed the project within the agreed-upon timeframe and budget. I highly recommend Hawkins Pools/Dana Lund for your next outdoor project.
