Awards and Press

We often reflect on the meaning of No Ka Oi, which translates to “the best” in Hawaiian. We pride ourselves on the standard of work we put in every day. It shows, not just in our clients’ landscapes, but in the knowledge of our team and the sustainable solutions we employ.
But don’t take our word for it. We’re honored to have earned these recognitions over the years.
