What we do
01From first sketch to final leaf.
Six disciplines under one roof — so the team that dreams up your landscape is the team that builds and tends it.
Landscape Design
Bespoke master plans that read your land, light and lifestyle before a single plant goes in the ground.
ExploreSoftscape & Planting
Tropical gardens, living lawns and layered canopies installed by horticulturists, not day labour.
ExploreHardscape & Stonework
Lava-rock walls, bluestone patios and winding paths that give a garden its bones and its backbone.
ExploreIrrigation & Smart Systems
Weather-aware drip and smart controllers that keep gardens thriving while cutting water use in half.
ExploreGarden Care & Maintenance
White-glove maintenance programmes that keep your landscape looking like the day we handed it over.
ExploreTree & Palm Care
ISA-certified arborists to prune, feed, brace and — when needed — safely remove your island giants.

“We plant for the decade, not the photo.”

Why Menehune
02The difference is in the roots.
Designed, built & cared for by one team
No handoffs, no subcontracted crews. The horticulturists who dream up your garden are the ones who plant it and tend it for years after.
Native-first & water-wise by default
We build landscapes that belong here — drought-tolerant, pollinator-friendly, and rooted in plants that thrive in O'ahu's microclimates.
Craftsmanship measured in decades
Proper soil, proper base, proper drainage. We build gardens to mature gracefully for thirty years, not to photograph well for one season.
Transparent, fixed-price proposals
Itemised, honest and honoured — with a detailed planting schedule so you know exactly what's going in the ground and what it costs.
The transformation
03A slope reborn as a sanctuary.
A neglected Kāhala hillside, reimagined as a terraced tropical garden. Tap to see where we began.
Client stories
04Loved by the people who live in them.
They turned a steep, unusable slope into the reason we host every family gathering. Two years on it looks even better than the day they finished.
Malia & Ren Kealoha
Residence · Kāhala
The design process alone was worth it — they saw things in our land we never could.
Daniel Sørensen
Estate · Diamond Head
Our water bill dropped by half and the garden has never looked greener. Genuine experts.
Priya Ramaswamy
Residence · Mānoa
Every crew member treated our property like their own. Immaculate, on time, and a joy to work with from first sketch to final walkthrough.
The Nakashima Family
Residence · Lanikai
We interviewed four firms. Menehune was the only one that led with the plants and the land instead of the invoice.

Good to know
05Questions, before you dig in.
It starts with an on-site consultation where we walk your property and listen to how you want to live in it. From there our designers produce a master plan with 3D renders and a detailed planting schedule. Once you're delighted with the vision, we schedule installation — you approve every stage before we build.
Start your garden
06Let's walk your land.
Tell us about your property and how you dream of living in it. A lead designer will visit, listen, and follow up with an itemised proposal — no pressure, no obligation.
