Hawk Precast and Hawk Construction are sister companies.
If facilitated or co-ordinated installation is required of Verti-Crete or Stack-Crete, Hawk Construction will manage that.
If Goods are meant to be shipped to the customer, Hawk Construction will also manage that task.
If the Buyer will pick-up orders at our manufacturing facility, the Hawk Precast will manage those orders.
Hawk primarily is a manufacture of the precast concrete Goods,
Only Hawk Construction will facilitate and co-ordinate the installation of it's produced Goods. Hawk Construction does not engage in any other kind of construction work or sub-contracting work.
Hawk does not install Verti-Block Retaining Block Systems. We will provide technical support only.
Great question. Verti-Crete is a modular system, which has its columns and panels as seperate units. This allows a safer handling system while allowing the panel to 'float' within the column channels. This ability is perfect for expansive soil conditions, which causes the ground to shift. Other systems use a monolithic panel column system, which is heavy and clunky to install. This monolithic type of system does not allow the panel to float enough with the movement of the ground, which can lead to severe cracking and failure of the wall. Verti-Crete also grouts our columns in place, whereas some monolithic systems do not. The error in not grouting will cause the column to move and vibrate against the inner support, further increasing the likelihood of failure. The Verti-Crete system, being modular, is also able to change wall directions easily, while monolithic systems have to create a whole new section, which costs more to build. Verti-Crete installation is faster, safer, and better built to handle shifting soil conditions and layouts.
Our Stack-Crete™ system will exceed other similar wall systems, in the fact we produce engineered piers for them. Other thin wall systems will cut corners and shorten up the piers, causing the wall to shift in a short period of time. This is big issue and one the consumer is mostly unaware of. Hawk Construction wil not compromise your investment or look for ways to cut corners on these walls. When we build a wall pier, we mean it and will not just dig a one foot hole and throw some fast setting concrete on it.
Hawk Construction also not only installs these walls, but our sister company Hawk Pecast makes them at our yard; we are one in the same. So you can be assured that what we install, we actually make; others may not be able to say that, so the consumer may not have the best information on the wall, or get the service you deserve. When you speak to us about the wall, you are speaking to the originator of it, not a 'paper' contractor who acts like a middle-man.
Further, having our own batch plant allows us to change and customize mixes if needed with relative ease, while allowing us to control the quality of the ingredients and the finish of the concrete. Others may have to bring in concrete from a redi-mix supplier or do not have a real batch plant on-site. The risk is you do not really know what your getting. Hawk Precast can prove the mix at any time. Thats quality and service. Thats what makes us better.
No, all Verti-Crete panels are 12' long. However, the install teams often cutt panels to make them fit according to the layout of the project.
No, but we do need a soils report that can be sent via email along with a sight plan
Yes! Both our Verti-Crete and Stack-Crete™ systems are special engeneered to allow both sides to have a pattern as well as being able to provide you with designed columns on all four sides!
Our Verti-Crete line offers four patterns: Durango, Ledgestone, Brick, and Ashlar.
Stack-Crete™ offers five: Chisel Stone, Z-Notch Ledgstone, Brick, Wood, and Quarry Rock.

A Vereti-Block measures 2'x4'x3' which means you will use fewer blockes than your traditional retaining block for almost any landscaping project, while using up to 50% less concrete to allow for cheaper costs, and easier maneuverability.
