We walked many of the lots near Paradise On 2nd & 3rd 5 years ago as that was an area we were very interested in: they are pahoehoe with many pukas, dips & rises that make some nice areas to 'plant in the puka'. This technique involves finding pukas with nice base cracks, filling with cinder/soil, and planting your gardens. This area has some very remarkable flowscapes and native plants, there are some lots that have some very beautiful halas & ohias that you may want to treasure.
Some of the lots had some unique flow characteristics that we thought would be exquisite 'flow walks' on the property. If you haven't had a chance to take a garden walk with some of your neighbors, some of our friends there would most likely allow you to see their planting styles. The technique we had planned on was taught to use by one of your neighbors, who has used the 'plant in a puka' technique for years, with wonderful results.
