REGARDING LANDSCAPING IN HAWAII THE INDUSTRY IS THRIVING, AS EVERYONE WANTS TO HAVE A GREEN PATCH OF PARADISE OUTSIDE THEIR COMMERCIAL OR DOMESTIC PROPERTY I ACCENTUATES THE OVERALL AESTHETIC VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND GIVES IT A VERY APPEALING APPEARANCE OTH COMMERCIAL AND DOMESTIC LANDSCAPING IS EXPECTED IN THE STATE AND SEVERAL IDEAS AND INNOVATIONS GO INTO ROFESSIONALS MAKE SURE THAT THEY PROVIDE EXACTLY WHAT THE CUSTOMERS WANT SOME PREFER EXOTIC FLOWER BEDS AND SOME LIKE A MINIMAL AND STRAIGHTFORWARD LAYOUT HILE EXOTIC PLANTS LOOK ALLURING IN YOUR YARD THEY CAN BE EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN SINCE THEY ARE NATIVE TO
THE WEATHER AND SOIL CONDITIONS, THEY REQUIRE A LOT OF LABOR. USING TOO MANY EXOTIC PLANTS IS ONE OF THE COMMON LANDSCAPING MISTAKES YOU CAN MAKE. MANY SERVICES WILL NOT TELL YOU AGAINST IT AS IT IS MORE PROFITABLE FOR THEM. STILL, ONCE THEY ARE DONE WITH THEIR WORK, YOU WILL HAVE A LOAD OF TASKS TO DO YOURSELF OR WATCH YOUR PLANTS DIE BECAUSE OF UNSUITABLE WEATHER OR LACK OF CARE. IT IS AN EXCELLENT OPTION IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCED IN CARING FOR SUCH PLANTS AND HAVE THE TIME, BUT IF YOU ARE A NOVICE, IT IS BEST TO STICK TO NATIVE HAWAIIAN PLANTS. HAWAII’S PECULIAR TROPICAL CONDITIONS WORK BEST FOR NATIVE PLANTS, AS THEY CAN THRIVE INDEPENDENTLY. OUR AIM TODAY IS TO POPULARIZE THE NATIVE PLANTS OF HAWAII AND THE REASON WHY THEY CAN BE GREAT ADORNMENTS TO YOUR HOME. REASONS TO PICK HAWAIIAN NATIVE PLANTS FOR LANDSCAPING • WATER RETENTION
NATIVE PLANTS ARE BEST SUITED FOR YOUR WEATHER, AND THUS THEY HAVE THE BEST WATER RETENTION MECHANISM. YOU NEED NOT WASTE A LOT OF WATER TO KEEP THEM HYDRATED SINCE THEY ARE BUILT TO TOLERATE NORMAL WEATHER. THEIR LEAVES ARE ALSO ACCUSTOMED TO SUNLIGHT AND WILL NOT DRY TOO FAST TO BURNOUT BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. HAWAII ALSO RECEIVES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION YEARLY, WHICH MEANS THESE PLANTS CAN DEAL VERY WELL WITH THAT. • SAVES MONEY NON NATIVE PLANTS REQUIRE A LOT OF CARE, AND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY GOES INTO THEM. NATIVE PLANTS ARE LESS DEMANDING IN TERMS OF FACILITIES AND CAN BEST HANDLE NATURAL SITUATIONS. • BETTER GROWTH
IF YOU WISH FOR YOUR PLANTS TO RECOVER AND GROW FASTER, LANDSCAPING HONOLULU WITH NATIVE PLANTS IS THE BEST IDEA. THESE PLANTS CAN WITHSTAND THE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF GROWING BACK THE FOLLOWING YEAR WITH MINIMAL CARE. YOU NEED NOT REPURCHASE PLANTS EVERY YEAR. NON-NATIVE PLANTS HARDLY OUTGROW THEIR FIRST YEAR, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT TOIL FROM YOUR END. • NON-INVASIVE LOCAL PLANTS ARE RARELY INVASIVE; THUS, YOU CAN HAVE SEVERAL PLANTS TO GROW IN YOUR GARDEN SIMULTANEOUSLY. WITH INVASIVE PLANTS ON YOUR PLOT, LANDSCAPING BECOMES CHALLENGING. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO AVAIL OF ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE SERVICES FOR THE PURPOSE, OF SHOOTING UP YOUR BILL AND TIME REQUIREMENT. NATIVE PLANTS ALLOW YOUR LANDSCAPE TO BECOME A HOME OF DIVERSE PLANTS. • LIMITED PESTICIDES AND FERTILIZERS REQUIRED NATIVE PLANTS DEFEND THEMSELVES BETTER AGAINST PESTS AND INSECTS AS THEY ARE ADAPTED TO SPECIFIC CLIMATE CONDITIONS. THIS TONES DOWN YOUR EXPENSE OF PESTICIDES AND FERTILIZERS. THEIR NATURAL DEFENCE WILL DO MOST OF THE WORK. YOU NEED NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT WITH ARTIFICIAL PESTICIDES AND FERTILIZERS. NATIVE PLANTS RESPOND BETTER TO NATURAL FERTILIZERS. • LOW MAINTENANCE NATIVE PLANTS ARE MORE RESISTANT TO DROUGHT, DISEASES, AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS. THEY ALSO GROW MORE EFFICIENTLY AND CURB THE CHANCE OF WEEDS. THEREFORE, YOU NEED NOT CONSTANTLY KEEP SERVICING YOUR LANDSCAPE. NATIVE PLANTS
ALSO PREVENT SOIL EROSION BY TIGHTLY HOLDING ONTO THE PLANTS’ ROOTS. SUCH TENDENCIES MAKE YOUR SOIL MORE LONGLASTING. THE NATURAL HUMUS ALSO PROVIDES THE SOIL WITH NUTRITION, IMPROVING ITS QUALITY. • NATURAL HABITAT NATIVE PLANTS PRODUCE NATIVE FRUITS AND FLOWERS, WHICH ATTRACT SEVERAL BIRDS, BUTTERFLIES, AND SMALL ANIMALS TO FREQUENT YOUR YARD. IT CAN MAKE AN EXCELLENT HABITAT FOR NATURAL ANIMALS WHO HUNT FOR FOOD. NON-NATIVE PLANTS MAY LOOK EXOTIC, BUT THEY ARE CHALLENGING TO MAINTAIN AND DO NOT WORK VERY WELL WITH THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM OF YOUR GARDEN OR YARD. THEREFORE, NATIVE PLANTS WILL NOT ONLY MAKE YOUR PROPERTY LOOK GOOD BUT WILL ALSO BECOME AN ECOSYSTEM WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO INTERFERE TOO MUCH. MOST HAWAIIAN LANDSCAPE SERVICES OFFER
YOU THE LIBERTY TO CHOOSE YOUR PLANTS, AND SOME EVEN SUGGEST NATIVE PLANTS. THESE PLANTS COME WITH SEVERAL ADVANTAGES AND THUS MUST NOT BE OVERLOOKED.
