KYE NORDFELT ENTERPRISES LLC runs a working hoop house nursery yard at 865 Larkspur Rd, St George - 84790-6770, United States (US), where arch frames, misted seed benches and drip lines are assembled into systems that carry a crop from tray to field. We serve market growers, backyard orchardists and community plots across the high desert edge, reading wind, sun and cold the way the land writes them. Every build starts with a season plan, so a structure is never placed where weather will undo it. See the full service list →
KYE NORDFELT ENTERPRISES LLC opens its spring hoop bookings now, and every plan begins with a walk through the yard at 865 Larkspur Rd before a single arch is set.
Six working programs sit on the misted rows. Each one is priced on its own labor and materials, and each one can stand alone or thread into a larger season schedule with the others.
We raise full hoop houses in widths from twelve to thirty feet, anchoring stub posts into caliche and bending the arches on site so the span matches your prevailing wind. Frame, end walls, roll-up sides and the vent crank wheel come as one finished shell that you can plant under the same week we hand it over.
Our misted benches carry flats of vegetables, herbs and native perennials from first true leaf to transplant size. Trays are hardened on a moving schedule of shade and airflow, so starts leave the nursery ready for high desert sun instead of wilting the day they hit field soil.
We lay drip lines row by row, sizing emitters to soil type and setting the pressure so the far end of the bed waters as evenly as the near one. Filters, flush valves and a simple manifold make the system something you can winterize and restart without guesswork.
Summer here can cook a seedling bench by noon, so we fit shade cloth to your structure on wire, pipe or rope systems that roll away in minutes. Density is chosen for the crop, giving lettuce and greens the light they need while blocking the burn that crisp afternoons bring.
A written plan maps your frost dates, crop choices and structure options into a single calendar for the year. We pair row cover, cold frames and hoop timing so you gain weeks at both ends of the season without building more than the ground can justify.
We press and sell soil blocks from our own mix, sized for everything from small herbs to squash starts. Blocks set out on a capillary mat hold moisture evenly, cut transplant shock to almost nothing, and let roots air-prune into a dense, field-ready ball.
Every project opens with a yard walk, where we read the slope, the shade line and the direction the wind arrives from before anything is ordered. From there the work flows in a known order: hoop house builds set the frame and skin, drip line setup follows the beds once the ground is leveled, and shade cloth fitting closes the roof against the first hard summer. Alongside the structures, the living side of the yard runs its own clock, with seedling starts and soil block sales feeding growers through the cool months while season extension plans tie the whole year together.
Because the climate here swings hard between a cold morning and a scorching afternoon, each structure is tuned to the exact bench it shelters. Vent wheels are placed where a person naturally walks, drip emitters are spaced for the soil rather than the catalog, and every tray is set at a height that spares a grower the bend. The result is a nursery that reads like a working room instead of a display.
Read how each program is run →We keep the yard honest about what works. Metal arches outlast timber in this sun, so we bend steel and set it deep. Water is scarce and precious, so drip replaces flood and every emitter is chosen for the soil it feeds. Shade is a tool, not a decoration, so cloth is fitted to move and stored when the season softens.
That same discipline shows in the small parts. The hand-crank vent wheel sits on the gable where it can be reached in a hurry. Clay pots are stacked by the door so repotting never means a walk. Soil blocks are set out on a capillary mat so a tray waters itself from below while the grower moves on to the next bed. These are the details that turn a structure into a place that earns its keep.
Growers come back to KYE NORDFELT ENTERPRISES LLC because the work is finished, not merely started. A hoop that is plumb today is a hoop that sheds wind for a decade, and a drip line set right in spring is a drip line that saves a season of hauling water by July. We would rather build one nursery that lasts than three that fail.
Mark your sun path for a full day and note where the afternoon shade lands. Test your water pressure at the header and write down the number, because drip sizing depends on it. Decide the crop before the structure, since a house for tomatoes is not a house for lettuce.
Skin the roof before the first hard wind, set your drip lines low enough to reach the root zone, and hang shade cloth on a system you can roll. Keep a written calendar taped inside the door so frost dates and transplant windows stay in sight.
Flush your drip lines monthly to clear mineral build up from hard water. Crank the gable vents open by mid morning in summer and close them before the cold settles in. Lift soil blocks onto fresh mat space as roots fill, and harden starts for a week before they leave the bench.
If any of this reads like a task you would rather hand off, the yard is open for a walk and the phone is answered during business hours at +19089803792.
