Knowledge of Land
We work in sync with the earth’s natural production cycle and process. Our intimate knowledge of the local terrain allows for harmonious and stunning completed landscapes that will live and flourish for years to come.
A Way of Life
For Kīnā 'Ole, sustainability is a way of life. The closer we can commune with the earth, the more veritable our efforts to conserve and replenish become. Over decades we have worked closely with the ‘aina, learning, healing, and enjoying. We bring this connection to each project, working to create a unique bond between each client and their land.
Our goal is to promote Maui's sustainability by encouraging the use of native Hawaiian plants, edible species and organic horticulture. We try to understand each client’s exact wants and needs from their land. Some prefer a manicured look while others like a wild and natural treatment. One thing we really take pride in is tying people back into their land—understanding how to use it and feel it, and really helping them connect with the ‘aina.
Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina I ka Pono
