Common Questions
How does your tree replacement program work, and what does it include?
Our commitment to Big Island sustainability means that for every tree we remove, we provide a client with a dwarf coconut palm or fruit tree to take its place. This includes the tree itself, proper planting by our team, and enough organic fertilizer for the coming year. It's part of our mission to increase local food security and help you cultivate a productive, beautiful landscape.
You mention building 'black gold' soil. What does that mean for my Holualoa property?
In Holualoa's unique climate, healthy soil is key to plant resilience. We build fertile, living soil—what we call 'black gold'—by incorporating organic mulch and amending with natural preparations like Indigenous Microorganisms (IMOs) and EM1. This improves water retention, nutrient availability, and root health, creating a strong foundation for your trees, shrubs, and landscape to thrive with less need for chemical inputs.
Can you help with common local irrigation issues like clogged sprinklers or drip line failure?
Absolutely. As part of our landscape maintenance and construction services, we address the common local issue of irrigation system clogs and failures. We can diagnose problems, clear blocked sprinkler heads, repair or replace compromised drip lines, and adjust the system to ensure your plants—especially new trees and shrubs—receive the efficient, consistent water they need to establish and grow.
