Kauai Nursery & Landscaping (KNL) has been a cornerstone of the Kauai community since its establishment in 1975 by owner Lelan Nishek. Over the years, the company has grown from a small nursery into Kauai's largest retail and wholesale nursery, spread across approximately 150 acres and spanning over 80,000 square feet of retail space. Employing a team of over 100 specialists, including Landscape Architects, Designers, Arborists, and Maintenance Crews, KNL is dedicated to providing a wide range of ornamental and edible plants, hardscape materials, garden accessories, as well as landscape and irrigation design and installation services.
KNL prides itself on its mission to deliver cost-effective and sustainable solutions to clients, ensuring the satisfaction of their landscape needs while actively engaging in environmental stewardship. The company is heavily involved in the community, offering educational workshops and collaborating with various organizations like the Kauai Invasive Species Committee to mitigate the presence of invasive plant species on the island.
Moreover, KNL embraces a philosophy that prioritizes employee well-being, supports local agriculture, and advocates for resource conservation. Its commitment to rejuvenating Kauai's landscape was particularly significant during the reconstruction efforts following Hurricane Iniki.
With a comprehensive approach to landscaping which includes maintenance, design, and contracting services, KNL remains a trusted partner for residential, commercial, and resort clients looking to enhance their outdoor spaces. As a locally-owned and operated business, KNL continually seeks opportunities for improvement and innovation, reaffirming its role as a vital part of Kauai’s ecological and economic landscape.
