It all started in 1951 when my mother left Hawaii to attend school at Macalester College in Minnesota. She soon fell in love with my dad and Minnesota. Although I grew up in Minnesota, we spent a lot of time in Honolulu at my grandparents home. The picture above showing the lights of honolulu is what we would see from the living room at night. Punch Bowl National Cemetary in the foreground and Diamond Head in the distance. As early as I can remember we were "landscaping" something in their yard or in the orchid houses.
Since 2005, Aloha Landscaping has been a leader in the design and construction of a wide range of green roof systems. After preparing for two years - including intensive study and even travel to the World Green Roof Congress in Basel, Switzerland - we were selected to build the first major extensive green roof in Minneapolis at the Central Library. A Cesar Pelli design - this green roof would pave the way for dozens of new green roofs in the years to follow. However, being the vanguard to the future does not come without a price.
It's hard to drive anywhere in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul without bumping into one of our projects. Whether it is a residence or commercial project - they are all over and counting. Some are quite visible and we are especially proud of these public projects that contribute significantly to the natural environment in our state. Russia's Grizzly Coast was built in 2007 and won numerous national Zoo awards for "Best New Attraction." We labored for almost two years on that project - moving over 1,100 specimen large-caliper trees, 1,000 tons of stone, and building three spectacular green roofs.
