How Much Does Landscaping Cost on Oahu? (2026 Guide)

Landscaping prices in Hawaii run higher than mainland averages — labor, fuel and disposal all cost more on an island — but knowing typical ranges helps you spot a fair quote. These are broad Oahu ranges for 2026; every yard is different, which is why pros quote after seeing the job.

Recurring lawn service

For a typical residential lot, scheduled mow-and-edge visits generally run in the $50–$120 per visit range depending on lot size, access and whether green waste hauling is included. Weekly service usually prices lower per visit than one-off cuts, since the crew isn't fighting three weeks of growth.

Yard cleanups

One-time cleanups vary more than any other service — a light refresh might be a few hundred dollars, while clearing a badly overgrown yard with heavy hauling can run $500–$2,000+. The biggest cost drivers are volume of green waste (disposal is charged by the load) and access: a backyard only reachable through a gate takes longer than one a truck can back up to.

Palm and tree trimming

Coconut palm trimming on Oahu typically runs $75–$250 per palm depending on height and how many there are — crews discount for rows of palms done in one visit. Large canopy trees like monkeypod are quoted individually and can run from a few hundred dollars for shaping to considerably more for major reductions requiring lifts.

Sod and turf

Installed sod (ground prep included) commonly lands in the $1.50–$3.50 per square foot range depending on grass variety and how much prep the ground needs. Artificial turf is a bigger upfront investment — often $12–$20 per square foot installed — but eliminates mowing and watering for its 15+ year life.

Irrigation

Sprinkler repairs are often $100–$400 visits; new residential systems typically run into the low thousands depending on zones. Smart controllers add a few hundred dollars and routinely cut water use 20–40%.

Getting an accurate number

Photos help a lot — a quote request with three phone pictures of the yard gets a far tighter estimate than a description alone. Request a free quote below, and a local pro will contact you within 24 hours with real numbers for your actual yard.
