Landscaping in Honolulu means salt off the south shore, showers in the valleys, and ground that is lava rock or coral. Water that reaches the slab has no basement to fall into. A leeward yard burns what a valley yard drowns. The trades push on every new tree. Termites will use the stump you left against the single-wall house. Grade and wood come before a prettier bed.
A hedge tight against the house blocks the breeze and leaves a machine to do the drying. A limb on a metal roof is a roof call that starts in the yard. Salt spray kills a planting chosen for a wetter valley. Say if the complaint is water at the foundation, a blocked breeze, or a tree on the covering. Irrigation on a dry lot is not the same job as drainage in a wet valley.
You will hit rock. Plan on it when the work is a trench, a footing, or a root that has lifted the walk. Downspouts from a low-slope roof that end at the step keep the wall wet through every valley shower and every south-shore blow that carries rain. Move that water. A cut that never touches the grade will look fine and still let the slab take the runoff. Say which way the lot tilts.
Mowing is not the point if the roof is being struck or the wall is buried in shrub. Define the visit: limbs, salt-burned hedges, drainage, or a weekly cut. Growth does not pause here, and a dormant-season plan from somewhere cold will not fit a Honolulu yard. An ohana court that holds water is part of the building. You do not need a drawing to say where the water goes and where the rock is.
Say the part of Honolulu and whether the job is slope, trees, salt burn, or soft wood in the yard. Mention the slab if it gets wet. The next shower is not going to redesign the grade. Call the number on this page.
