The Eastside faces the Pacific Ocean and receives strong trade winds that greatly impact landscapes, including creating highly salinic soil.
The most populated area of Kauai, with the commercial center of Kapa’a, the Eastside is ripe with beaches, restaurants, hotels and businesses. Flowering trees and shrubs are abloom on this side of the island, and with that comes pruning and tree/shrub care practices to keep plants healthy. On the North Shore, the grass grows greener because of the rainfall-and that means more attention to mowing maintenance, but less irrigation with the regular precipitation. Monthly rainfall ranges from 5 to 7 inches in Hanalei, to 3 to 5 inches in Princeville. This region stays lush thanks to ample rainfall, and it receives trade winds keeping temperatures from 60° F to 80° F. The North Shore is home to some of the world’s best beaches, and it’s one of the greenest areas on the island. What’s your Kauai microclimate? Here is what to expect, no matter where you live on the island, and what that means for your landscape maintenance needs. No two properties have the same conditions. All of these factors are figured into a thoughtful commercial maintenance regimen.Īt No Ka Oi, we come to your property with an acute understanding of Kauai’s wide range of climates and the on-site variables that also play into your commercial site’s microclimate. To make matters more complex, your property’s microclimate is affected by the very buildings that sit on the land and create windbreaks (or wind tunnels) and shady areas. The island’s high mountains and trade winds largely impact the wide-ranging weather conditions throughout the island. Kauai’s landscape includes temperate regions, dry sand dunes and lush river valleys. Wai’ale’ale, one of the rainiest spots on earth-to dry and windy on the west side, which is showered by just 1 to 3 inches of rain each month.
Rainfall can range from intense accumulation-up to 400 inches annually by Mt. The soil content is different on your land than the resort or commercial grounds across the way. The winds that brush against the landscape vary slightly compared to your direct neighbors-and are drastically different than property owners on the other side of the island. Every Kauai property is its own microclimate.
