Protective traditional rock wall buffers that enhance the landscape while protecting the highly sensitive materials within. Often these permanent buffers are placed where further construction is going to occur nearby, even up close to the buffer itself. The site could be large like this one that protects an entire lava tube with entombed remains present, or it could be small like on a residential lot. Typically the buffers are placed twenty feet from the perimeter of the site to be preserved. Hawaiians of old buried there dead in caves, lava blisters, next to a tree, in the cinder cones of Mauna Kea, with the full expectation that their ancestor’s bones would be safe and secure for all time. Helping to secure that safety has been our lifetime mission and why we created Kuleana Consulting, LLC. In the Hawaiian world this type of work feeds the soul. Working to preserve and protect, keep the culture alive and teach the children well. Jim Medeiros Jr. is our wall master craftsman and our crew’s skills are constantly growing under his direction. Nice work, kid.
