When you visit Garden Exchange, their knowledgeable staff will help you select the best types of grass, flowers, and trees to plant based on your findings.

  • Go Drought Tolerant: Since Hawaii experiences the two extremes—a wet season of downpours and a dry season of blistering bright sunlight—it is best to choose a grass that is resistant to drought. Due to the water restrictions currently in place around Hilo, this will also cut back on your water usage, as well.

  • Install Sprinklers: Whenever you do water your lawn, make sure you do so completely, as Hawaii is known for its salt-heavy air. By installing an irrigation system, you can easily and thoroughly rinse your turf of the salinity, and guarantee another year's worth of healthy growth.
