Serving Central Virginia and the Triangle

Hand watering eats up hours, and a cold snap can wipe out weeks of work. Swarthy installs irrigation systems that put water right at the roots, and builds hoop houses and greenhouses that protect your plants and extend your growing season. Because Pearle Jones grows food, the setup is designed around how plants actually grow, not just how parts fit together. We help you choose the right system for your space, install it cleanly and show you how to run and maintain it.
Irrigation – Drip and garden irrigation that waters efficiently and saves you time.
Hoop Houses – Affordable hoop houses that protect crops and extend the season.
Greenhouses – Greenhouse builds and setup for year-round growing.
Setup and Guidance – Systems explained so you know how to run and maintain them.
