our Story & Mission
“Kokua Tree Care did a fantastic job! Our 40 foot palm tree was becoming dangerous so we decided to have it cut down to a 7 foot stump. Recently the stump was turned into a work of art.”

Eco-Conscious Operations
We tread lightly on the ‘aina. We use electric chainsaws and polesaws whenever possible, replace highly toxic bar oils with safe canola oil, and run our equipment on Pacific Biodiesel—a 100% locally grown fuel.
Honest & Transparent
Our goal is simple—to help you. We pride ourselves on a personable, straightforward approach. If we determine that we are not the absolute best fit for your specific project, we will gladly refer you to a trusted expert in our network who is.
Holistic Solutions
Sometimes a tree doesn’t need to be cut down—it just needs the right nourishment or pest management. We diagnose the root cause of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms.
