Our Story

Hawai’i Landscape & Planning’s owner / operator Dominic Riolo’s land planning and landscape design practice is firmly rooted in his own land engagement on a 3-acre forest farm where he is owner and land manager. With the help of close friends and fellow community members, he hand-cleared hundreds of non-native Christmasberry and Strawberry Guava to establish a mix conservation-production model of ‘Ohi’a, Lama, Alahe’e, Milo, Kamani, and Kou.

Holding a Master’s in Landscape Architecture degree, Dominic has the computer-aided drafting and modeling skills needed to execute high-level and large-scale land engagement projects with clients. Yet above all, he is informed ultimately in his land planning and landscape design practice by his own hands-on engagement with his 3-acre forest farm. This commitment has been and continues to be his greatest mentor.
