| Do you sell to the public? Yes. Even though we are basically a production farm, and supply wholesale to landscapers, hotels, and other large projects, we regard the public as our best and most successful customers. As a result of the beautiful lawns they have created following our step-by-step instructions, many satisfied homeowners recommend us to their neighbors.

| What are your hours? We are open 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday, and Saturday 8am to 1pm. Sundays and most Federal holidays we are closed because – well, everyone needs a break sometime.

| If you are coming from the Leeward side: Take the H-3 and get off at the second Kaneohe exit (#11). Keep in the right lane of the off ramp (no long red light at the bottom that way), turn right on Kam highway, and go about one mile to the Pali highway. Turn left on the Pali, drive down toward Kailua town for about one mile, and you will come to a big intersection with Castle Hospital on your left. Turn right (follow the Waimanalo signs), drive about 3 miles, and you will see Olomana Golf Links on the left. Coming into the 35 mph zone, slow down – the Waimanalo cops take speeding seriously! Continue straight ahead on the highway and you will soon see Flamingo St. on the right side. On the corner are signs saying “Glenn’s Flowers and Plants”, and “Nalowinds Boarding”. Continue straight ahead for 200 yards and watch for the next road on the right. You’ll see a tree with a wide trunk on the right corner, and a street sign saying “Kumuhau St.” Turn right on Kumuhau and head toward the mountains. Drive straight up one mile and you will come to a stop sign. Turn left and you’ll be at Quality Turfgrass.

| If you are coming from Hawaii Kai: Lucky you! You get to drive around the Ka Iwi coastline – the most beautiful drive in the world. Pass Sandy Beach and Makapu’u, and head down to Waimanalo town. Pass Bellows Air Force Station , McDonalds, and the firehouse, and you’ll come to downtown Waimanalo. There’s a stop light, and a 76 station on the right. Go through the stop light, pass Jack-in-the-Box, and turn left in front of L-L Drive-In. Drive straight up toward the mountains past houses, and about a half-mile up the road you’ll come to a four-way stop sign. Stop, drive straight up a half-mile more (watch for mongooses crossing the road), and you’ll come to a second stop sign. This is Waikupanaha St. Turn right, drive toward Mt. Olomana about a quarter-mile, and you’ll see the Quality Turfgrass signs on your right side. See our Website map for details. If you're wandering around Waimanalo, don’t start up the wrong end of Waikupanaha St., off Hihimanu St. – you’ll end up in a cow pasture.

Questions about lawns:
| Should I put on a layer of topsoil before I plant my grass? Topsoil is not necessary unless the area needs to be brought up to grade. If you do bring in topsoil, be sure to rototill it deeply to mix it thoroughly with the underlying soil. If you don’t, both roots and water will stop at the harder original soil layer below, and you will end up growing your grass in a bathtub. The result? Suffocating roots and an unhealthy lawn.
