Most Popular Questions

What are some key tips for commercial landscape projects?

Plan for heavy use

With higher traffic, commercial landscapes endure more wear. Use durable plants that can handle foot traffic without excessive damage. Hardscapes need strength too – opt for sturdy modular pavers or permeable concrete over gravel paths prone to erosion. Areas like seating zones also require fortified foundations for greater loads.

Allow for growth over time

When plants are small, commercial spaces can feel a bit desolate. Select native trees, large shrubs, and faster-growing varieties to provide more immediate appeal. Just be sure to leave adequate spacing for future spread. Also consider how sightlines may change and leave room for plant maturity so signage, lighting, and access aren’t later obscured or create safety concerns.

Keep accessibility front of mind

Smooth paths with mild slopes, integrated resting spots or approximately every 100 feet, and identifiable wayfinding elements are key for wheelchair users. For the visually impaired, vary walkway textures, add navigation sound cues, and minimize obstacles. Creating accessible spaces upfront is far easier and cheaper than retrofitting.

Coordinate with contractors

Complex landscape projects mean coordinating with electricians, irrigation teams, and building contractors. Make sure lighting wire routes, sprinkler mainlines and other buried elements are clearly mapped out ahead of actual landscape installations. Also, be aware of construction schedules – timing new sod lawns or delicate plantings after heavy equipment work can prevent unnecessary damage or trauma to the landscape.

Account for utility lines and easements

Before digging, identify and mark underground utility line locations with site maps or utility line locations. Avoid costly line strikes and business disruptions by planning around these restrictions when positioning trees, irrigation, plantings, and other structural footings. Also, don’t forget overhead lines when planning the arrival of heavy and tall equipment during installations.

What are the top 5 concerns you hear the most about when it comes to landscape installations?

Here are the top 5 concerns when it comes to landscape installations:

Budget – Landscape installations can sometimes have high upfront costs. Many factors like materials, permits, site prep, hardscaping, labor, and more can determine the overall investment required.

Improper planning – Not planning thoroughly can lead to costly mistakes, delays or going over budget due to wrong plant selections based on site conditions, utility conflicts, and drainage issues.

Inexperienced contractors – A lack of specialized horticulture/construction knowledge that sometimes uses inadequate techniques, poor-quality materials, or cut corners.

Maintenance needs – Watering, fertilizing, and pruning requirements must be determined. Matching care regimens with site conditions and owner abilities is essential.

Communication gaps – Miscommunications between owners and contractors on project plans/scope or managing changes during installation commonly create unnecessary problems.

Mitigating these five areas through careful planning, research when selecting a landscaping company, budget awareness, understanding maintenance needs, and more leads to successful, rewarding landscape projects meeting lifestyle goals.

What landscaping installation hurdles are common considering the climate in Hawaii?

Here are some common landscaping installation hurdles related to Hawaii’s tropical climate:

Heavy rainfall and storms
Frequent intense rain and storm surges introduce flooding, and soil erosion risks requiring well-drained grading/foundations and secured structures.

Saltwater corrosion
Oceanfront sites mean salt spray and saltwater pooling can damage masonry, metal fixtures, and plant life without planning for corrosion-resistant materials.

High humidity
Constant persistent wetness risks mold on structures and foliage without air circulation. Proper soil quality and amendment are key.

Limited topsoil
The volcanic origin of islands means marginal nutrient-thin native soil. Building healthy planting beds with compost/fertilizer is vital.

Dense clay earth
Hawaiian clay soil compacts tightly, needs aeration and requires shallower footings avoiding confined root zones for healthy plants.

Intense sunlight
Equatorial UV rays damage sensitive vegetation without shade planning, which also means faster soil moisture evaporation as well.

High winds
Trade winds increase erosion, topple top-heavy plants, and accelerate soil drying. Windbreaks are warranted.

Native pests
Native insects can defoliate, and weaken landscape plants lacking integrated resistance concepts.

Foreseeing these conditions allows tailored site preparation and designs leveraging the abundant natural beauty of Hawaii while safeguarding landscapes.
