Beautiful plants but just a bit pricey. Great inventory of stuff and plenty mature plants that look great but like I said just the prices are pretty up there

We purchased a puakenikeni tree from this nursery about a year ago. We had been on the hunt for the extra large flower variety and they were the only nursery that had at the time. The gentlemen that was there helped us pick it out and was very clear on the fact that we didn't want the smaller more common flower tree. We paid a pretty penny extra for this rare variety. It's been a year, it has finally blossomed and low and behold, to much of our disappointment it's the standard sized flower variety. I called the nursery and the guy I spoke too wasn't even remotely apologetic nor did he give any kind of option to remedy the problem. Just kept saying "I don't know, I don't know." And I'm like no I'm trying to tell you you guys sold us the wrong puakenikeni and you should make good bc we give you lots of business. I am a frequent plant nursery shopper. We landscaped and installed an irrigation system for our entire backyard and purchased all our plants and trees from nurseries in Waimanalo. I put my trust in the people who work at the nurseries that they are knowledgable and trustworthy when we ask them to pull plants for us. I have had this problem before with another nursery when they were supposed to pull 5 of the same heliconia variety and we ended up with 4 different types of heliconia, but when I called them and showed pictures they were so apologetic and credited us for new plants and we were able to get new ones. I am very disappointed in Akamai Nursery and hoped they would make good on their mistake, but nope. We have spent almost $1000 there and going forward I will take my business elsewhere. Don't recommend this nursery at all

I absolutely love, love this nursery. Most places sell very young to medium plants but this place has tons of very mature plants. If you are like me and just want to have your garden or landscaping done now and don't want to wait years for the plants to grow to make your place look nice then this is the place you need to come. They literally have acres of land that one of the workers can either drive you around or they will bring the plants up to you. We were fortunate to have the owner take us around. We showed him some pictures of the plants we were looking for and he knew exactly where they were and drove us to look at the plants and to pick which ones we wanted. To some the plants maybe on the high side but you are paying for the years they had to take care of the plants to get to that stage of maturity. They also have young plants as well and they are very price competitive. As always do your homework on which plants you are looking for and hopefully you have the names and pictures to show them. We will be back for sure for all our garden and landscaping needs.

Paid for 10' -12' foxtail but picture with yard stick shows it's 6-7' Then they would make good without demanding 100$ more for 9' foxtails they had on lot. They already had my money and dug two large holes in my yard. I felt strapped and paid more just to get job done. Bait and switch Terrible business ethics

We recently needed someone to level a mound left from removal of a coconut tree approx. 2 years ago to allow better water drainage of the lawn. I called Greg, owner of Akamai landscaping after calling others. He is very honest, dependable and experienced in landscaping and conducts his business with timely responses to voice or text messages. What impressed me is he remains passionate about his work even after many years in the business. He lays things out step by step and makes certain you understand the process through completion. He also does a followup call to be sure you are satisfied before getting payment. I highly recommend his company to anyone needing landscaping or yard maintenance services. The company name Akamai accurately describes Greg, very Akamai, very smart!! If there were 10 stars to give, I would give that to him.

Best selection of landscaping plants and trees. Have selection of fully grown trees. They have someone on-site with knowledge of plants and trees to help with your selection. They offer delivery and installation with a fee, especially convenient for homeowners who don't have the resources available. Neat, clean nursery that you can roam or with someone on cart to drive you throughout the 17 acres many variety plants. A must see! One of the best in Waimanalo!
