What the store carries

Five departments, chosen so a homeowner and a general contractor can finish the same project in one trip. Everything is stocked for the Memphis climate, which means humidity, long cooling seasons and hard summers on a yard.

Construction materials

The structural and surface layer, chosen for what it gives off once the room is closed up.

  • Non-toxic paints and finishes, low and zero VOC
  • Bamboo, cork and reclaimed wood flooring
  • Natural and eco-friendly tile, pure wool carpet
  • Natural countertops and clay plaster
  • Non-toxic adhesives and sealants
  • Green roofing and siding suited to Memphis weather
  • Sustainable lumber and framing

Energy and water

The department that pays for itself. Most of it shows up on a utility bill within a quarter.

  • LED lighting and daylight solutions
  • ENERGY STAR rated appliances
  • Natural insulation materials
  • Energy-efficient windows and doors for the local climate
  • High-efficiency HVAC, sized for long cooling seasons
  • Tankless water heaters
  • Low-flow toilets, showerheads and bathroom fixtures
  • Water purification and rainwater harvesting
  • Solar, matched to what Tennessee sun actually delivers

Cleaning

Non-toxic and biodegradable products for every surface, in household sizes and in the volumes a facility crew goes through in a month.

Garden and landscape

Stocked for a Tennessee summer rather than a catalogue photograph.

  • Organic fertilizers and pest control
  • Native and drought-tolerant plants that survive August
  • Composting systems
  • Rain barrels and collection

Indoor air

The part of a building nobody sees and everybody breathes.

  • Air purifiers
  • VOC monitors
  • Natural and organic home textiles

Buying for a job, not a room

Trade accounts cover repeat ordering, consistent stock month to month, and product data supplied in writing at the time of purchase rather than chased afterwards.
