"Trysen is very knowledgeable; he came out and gave us a free quote for my 1/2 acre project. His team worked flawlessly to get the cinder soil down and level, and applying the hydroseed for the lawn. His team made sure to protect my driveway from the heavy trucks on delivery of the soil and afterward cleaning up driveway and surrounding areas. Elite Landscaping has great customer service (Kimrah!) and are very attentive to our questions and needs. I would highly recommend Elite for all landscaping needs. P.S. 9 days from hydroseeding and the grass is sprouting…! 👍🏼"

"If you need great service and easy to schedule then give Hilinaâ i Yard service a call. We just moved into our home after months of unkept yard service. We got some quotes and was impressed that Justin could do an initial yard service the next day! I told him what I wanted done and the crew turned my yard into masterpiece. I received complements for the yard maintenance! So happy!"

"We want to take this opportunity to Mahalo Dominic of ʻKaʻū Tree Care’ for the excellent service your company provides. It can be difficult finding landscapers/land tenders who are hard working reliable, trustworthy, and consistent with follow through. Who are also exemplify knowledgeable, safe, regenerative and pono practices rooted in land stewardship for an abundant healthy future. No poisoning, demolishing of ecosystems or killing soil health for generations. Kaʻū Tree Care was able to offer place and plant base knowledge and design ideas/ suggestions that were terrific for our short term goals and long term needs. Dominic worked with us in regards to our budget, limited time (and knowledge) for upkeep. Dominic made everything easy and understandable. We very much appreciate his clear, concise communication and customer service. The level of respect and courteousness to his clients and the land itself was a level of professionalism greatly appreciated and spoke volumes to his character. We were very impressed by the level of maturity and pride in Dominic’s work. His attention to detail, integrity, passion, dedication and skill are unmatched. Mahalo Dominic and the Kaʻū Tree Care Crew - Misty Mountain Homestead"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

If you don’t like the way your empty drainage ditch looks, reach out to a local landscaping professional to discuss your options. They may be able to liven it up with plants, stones, bushes, or other decorative elements. You can also add your own landscaping, but you should first make sure that it won’t block your ditch or prevent it from operating effectively.

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.
