A Stunning Outdoor Transformation for Hawks Public House
After years of stalled efforts, Hawks Public House in Sacramento has successfully completed a full outdoor patio renovation, bringing a modern and inviting experience to patrons. The extensive project addressed previous city approval challenges and included a complete redesign, permitting, construction, and landscape installation. This achievement highlights the importance of careful planning, professional coordination, and expert construction management in complex commercial renovations.
Overcoming Years of City Approval Challenges
Securing city approvals and permits was a major obstacle for Hawks Public House. Previous attempts by multiple designers and contractors had failed, leaving the outdoor patio project in limbo. With comprehensive city coordination and design revisions, the project team managed to:
Assess previous submittals and identify compliance gaps
Revise designs to meet city requirements
Coordinate directly with city officials, engineers, and inspectors
Handle all resubmissions and obtain necessary permits
This careful navigation through municipal processes transformed years of stagnation into a fully approved project ready for construction.
Comprehensive Commercial Patio Design and Construction
The outdoor patio renovation encompassed every aspect of design, build, and installation, ensuring a seamless transformation for Hawks Public House. Key services provided included:
Landscape design revisions and compliance adjustments
Permit management and city coordination
Construction management from start to finish
Concrete patio installation with high-strength mix, broom finish, and color
Fireplace and water feature installations, including stucco walls, electrical setup, basins, tile, and scuppers
Custom CMU stucco wall with floating redwood bench
Installation of custom iron fencing, gates, and B-grade redwood slats
The team also implemented irrigation and lighting solutions, including a WUCOLS-approved drip system and commercial-grade Kichler fixtures, as well as installing drought-tolerant plants suitable for the Sacramento and Placer regions.
Enhancing Outdoor Functionality and Ambience
The renovation focused not only on aesthetics but also on practical usability. Concrete patios, water features, fireplaces, and custom seating areas were designed to maximize functionality for restaurant patrons. Highlights of the final installation include:
Point source drip irrigation system with valves and controller
Drainage system integrating area drains into landscaped shrub beds
Installation of premium planter soil, trees, shrubs, and walk-on bark
LED lighting with transformers, wiring, and 15 fixtures
Pre-emergent application to landscaped areas after bark/mulch installation
These upgrades created an inviting, comfortable, and visually striking outdoor environment that enhances the dining experience for all visitors.

The Hawks family needed a solution to simplify a stalled renovation process. The project team delivered by taking ownership of every step, from design to execution. Strategic steps included:
Evaluating prior submissions for compliance issues
Revising designs to meet municipal standards
Coordinating permitting, inspections, and approvals
Scheduling and managing construction and installation processes
Conducting final inspections and project closeout
The approach ensured that the project moved from years of delays to full completion, aligning with both city requirements and client expectations.

High-strength concrete with color and broom finish for the patio
Stucco masonry with an imperfect finish for natural texture
