From Dust to Green
Kailua-Kona Backyard Transformation

Transforming Kailua-Kona Outdoor Spaces

Creating a beautiful backyard oasis can feel like a daunting task, but for one Kailua-Kona homeowner, the transformation of their outdoor space was made easier with help from the Kailua-Kona landscape pros. Hawaii Landscaping took on the challenge of transforming the homeowner’s yard and bringing it back to life. With over 80 tons of material hauled and plenty of grading, their yard was leveled in no time. The result? A luscious green lawn, irrigated and edged to perfection. In the near future, plans are set in motion to complete custom planters and install irrigation around an existing pool. The project is a testament to our commitment to creating vibrant and inviting outdoor spaces in Kailua-Kona. This article looks at how our Kailua-Kona landscapers took this homeowner’s backyard from dust to a lush green oasis and all the steps taken during the process. Read on for an in-depth look into the project.

Project Scope & Overview

The preparation for this transformation was a key part of the process. This included excavating existing soil, hauling material, and grading the area to ensure an even surface. Our big island landscapers also installed irrigation lines to ensure an adequate watering system for the new grass. Other steps included installing topsoil and sod, as well as edging around the perimeter of the lawn. This was a crucial step to ensure that the lawn would not be overrun by weeds and grasses. All in all, proper preparation and installation set the stage for a successful transformation.

Preparing the Surface

Grading and leveling are important steps in transforming any backyard or lawn. For this project, our landscapers graded the area to ensure an even flat, surface. This included excavating existing soil, hauling material, and using a lawn roller to ensure the soil was flat and level. By taking these steps, they were able to create a level base for the new grass. This helped ensure that the sod would lay evenly and allow for better irrigation of the lawn. The process may seem tedious, but it is essential to creating a lush, green lawn.

Installing Backyard Irrigation

In addition to grading and leveling, installing the irrigation system was also a key component of this project. Our landscapers installed irrigation lines to ensure that the new grass would receive adequate water. This allowed them to control how much and when the lawn received water, ensuring that it stayed healthy and green year-round. Installing an irrigation system is a great way to ensure that your lawn stays healthy and looks its best for years to come. It also helps conserve water, making it an eco-friendly choice.

Final Steps: Gravel, Edging, & Turf

Finally, the last step in transforming this backyard was installing the gravel, edging, and natural turf. Gravel was laid down to help control erosion and weeds. Edging around the perimeter of the lawn gave it a finished look, while also helping to keep out unwanted grasses and weeds. And finally, the topsoil was laid down before installing turf. Installing natural turf, also known as sod, is a great way to get a lush green lawn quickly, as it helps reduce weeds and establishes a healthy grass root system. The installation of gravel, edging, and sod were crucial steps in creating this Kailua-Kona homeowner’s outdoor oasis.
