Dear Friends,
Our website order fulfillment and Portland warehouse remain open, though our no contact service area is in our warehouse/garage bay in the open air. To better serve our local customers and maintain social distancing guidelines, *please call ahead with payment for pickup! Note: our website does not accommodate will call/curbside pickup orders--please call ahead with order, payment and day you will pick up. Please be prepared to load yourself; carts will be available for moving larger items. We have also divided our small staff into two teams of two in order to reduce the number of people on site and our interactions with each other and our customers. Response times may be slightly slower, but we are confident that you will get the same great advice, service and seed. Thank you for taking care of a little piece of the earth with our seed.
Summer Hours: Mon - Fri 10:00a - 5:00p
Please contact us for an appointment outside of these hours.

Our Portland, Oregon store is just seventy miles north of the “Grass Seed Capital of the World”-- in Oregon’s beautiful Willamette Valley. We’re located in the heart of Portland’s friendly (and funky) near east side. Parking is available in our bay and in a reserved street spot out front.
In addition to our eco-lawn, traditional grass seed and wildflower seed mixes, we also sell soil amendments and fertilizers that we do not sell online.
Grass Straw Mulch
The top dressing of choice – organic, biodegradable, and made in Oregon. A by-product of the grass seed industry, our mulch is weed-free, holds moisture and protects new seed plantings. Full and half bales available; one full bale covers 1,000 square feet.
Profile Lawn & Landscape Soil Conditioner/Turface®
Profile soil conditioner products are porous ceramic particles that do not decompose or break down over time. The balanced structure and pore space it creates in any soil is permanent. Holding air, water and nutrients at the root zone, its particles act like sponges. These soil conditioners hold their weight in water and then slowly release moisture back into the plants over time; they reduce compaction and improve drainage. We recommend the addition of Profile products to compacted and heavy clay soils for deeper root growth and resistance to drought; in sandy soils, it absorbs water and captures nutrients that otherwise would be lost. Soil conditioners also works great in garden beds, potted plants and hanging baskets.
Fertilizers
Pro Time carries assorted fertilizers for all of your lawn needs, including 100% organic Nature Safe fertilizer.
Lime
Annual lime applications are beneficial to our acidic Pacific Northwest lawns by allowing nutrients to be absorbed effectively.
Iron
The presence of moss in your lawn indicates poor growing conditions for grass. Moss grows where grass cannot survive--in nutrient poor soil, soil with high acidity, soil that is compacted or drains poorly or where there is excessive shade or thatch accumulation. Iron, also known as ferrous sulphate, applied in winter or early spring kills moss. After the moss turns brown, rake it loose with a garden rake and remove it from the lawn.
Equipment Rental
We sell handheld ergonomic broadcast spreaders. The following are available for rent: grass straw mulch roller, water roller, walk-behind broadcast spreader, pro hand-crank broadcast spreader, landscape rake. We do not rent motorized equipment.
