Product

The Company's primary product is Sod growing and Installation : We grow Sod for the New
construction home Industry.
Our Sod benefits residential areas because it reduce high temperatures by natural transpiration
cooling. Turf grass absorbs pollutants such as carbon dioxide from the air and traps dust and dirt
with organic chemicals from the atmosphere. Photosynthesis occurring in the lawn releases a
large quantity of oxygen into the atmosphere. Planting grass seed takes much longer to get established where Sod does not.
A decrease in weeds will help to control pollen, which causes allergic reactions. Lush grass
serves as a playing area for recreation. Turf grass creates a beautiful environment that may
contribute to increased real estate value.
There is a growing market for sod. Over the past 2 years the sod industry has increased by 22%.
Most of the Sod in Idaho comes from Oregon and the cost of shipping it is more expensive than
producing it in Idaho.
We deliver free to all customers in Idaho and that makes us better for our area.

New construction is not slowing down.

I recently talked to 4 realtors and they explained to me that there is not enough homes being built
fast enough to keep up with the demand or people moving to Idaho.
Which in turns means that the Market for new house will not slow down for sometime.
