Holiday Hours

Okay so that's not from this year but December 2009, so not too long ago.  That was fun! We will be closed Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th for the Christmas Holidays!  We hope you are able to take a couple of days off and spend some quality time with your family too! So when we close this Friday the 21st, we won't be harvesting any grass until Wednesday morning.   You can put your orders in for Wednesday but just know we won't have any available early that morning! We will also be closed Monday the 31st, and Tuesday, January 1st, for the New Year's Holidays.  Thank you and have a safe and happy holiday!...

Discovery Bermudagrass On A Zero Energy House

Discovery Bermudagrass On A Zero Energy House

Last week we took some Discovery Bermudagrass to a couple of new houses in Independence Heights. These houses are being built to use LESS energy than they GENERATE and USE!  The extra energy created will be sold back to the utility company.  It's a great idea and hopefully more of these are coming in the future.  You can get more info on the houses themselves at thezeroenergyhome.com.  We should have Discovery Bermudagrass available to the general public in the Summer of 2013. Below are some pictures of the Discovery on pallets prior to being installed and then a couple after installation.  The reason they're using this grass on these energy efficient homes is because Discovery Bermudagrass will require 50% less mowing! ...
