Who We Are

About Live Aloha Now
Experience. Trust.
Certifications.
Our founder and lead landscape designer cut his teeth in the landscape industry on the island of Oahu in 1987, mentoring with the top designers in the Islands. Thirty-plus years later, that spirit of Aloha is still the foundation of everything we build — care, craftsmanship and lasting relationships.
We are more than a landscape company. We are Ohana. — James and Katrina Merritt, Founders
