Hawk River Construction

About

Hawk River Construction is the leading site preparation company in the Haliburton Highlands region. We offer complete site works for new and existing home and cottage construction.

Story

Hawk River was founded more than 35 years ago and has been providing all aspects of site preparation services including, road building, septic system installation, excavation services, landscape architectural design and landscaping expertise, lumbering and snow plowing during those months when our County population drops from 65,000 to 25,000. Larry Hewitt has worked on more than 20,000 projects over these years and is now doing work for the children of his first clients in the 70’s and 80’s. As a trusted advisor he is sought out for advice on all facets of the sites that most recreational properties are located on.


With access to more than 120 pieces of site equipment, raw materials in the form of sand, gravel and crushed stone from one of 6 different quarries throughout the County, we are able to provide services to support all sizes and complexities of project through 50+ employees throughout the year.

Mission

Hawk River represents the essence of Haliburton charm and wholeheartedness while providing services and quality expected in a more demanding and often less friendly environment: and we do it with a sense of good nature and pleasantry.

Our goals are threefold. First a foremost we identify with the needs of our clients acting not only as providers of services but as trusted advisors. We know our business as practioners of site preparation and the government regulation which will impact your recreational property.

Second, our commitment to the Haliburton County is to provide full time and seasonal employment in one of the poorest economies in Canada. We recognize that our strength as a community rests in meaningful and fair employment for as many Haliburtonians as possible.

Finally, we focus, through our employees, on providing a job that is executed superbly, on time and at a price which is fair to both you as our valued Client and Hawk River as a professional company that you can rely on.
