NATURAL THIN STONE
Natural Thin Stone is making real stone available to a much broader audience. This innovative product has developed a niche in applications where stone previously wouldn’t have been considered because of cost or weight restrictions.BLUE HEAT SOD
New species of sod grows vigorously and is green year round. It fills itself in if it is thinned out from stress or wear and tear. Tolerates heat, sun, humidity, produces oxygen and filters rainwater to provide clean ground water. In addition, planting selection and design has been optimized not only for impact, but also sustainability. During construction, there was a dedicated tree save area.
THE HUNTER ET SYSTEM
A new state-of-the-art climatic weather controller will take the guesswork out of irrigation scheduling. It measures key climatic conditions and uses them to calculate your local Evapotranspiration (ET) factor. By taking into account the rate at which water is consumed by evaporation and plant life, the system will initiate a schedule to replenish only the water that is actually needed. It also uses the new WiltGard™ technology which can intervene to trigger protective watering when extreme conditions threaten your plants. The result is a dramatic savings in your water bill (an average of 30%), healthier root zones, and your participation in conserving our precious natural resources.
