DALTON, Ga., Jan. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SYNLawn® is celebrating 20 years of leading the industry as the largest manufacturer and unrivaled innovator of artificial grass and synthetic surfacing in North America.

Since then, the company has expanded across the United States with a network of more than 120 distributors and into over 20 countries, including Canada and Costa Rica.
“We’re proud of reaching our 20th-anniversary milestone and for all of our achievements over the past two decades,” said George Neagle, president of SYNLawn Global. “I started my career at SYNLawn as the first distributor and I’m excited to lead the global expansion of SYNLawn. Throughout the years, we’ve increased sales through product innovations and development, which is why we’re a worldwide industry leader. We take great pride in offering the cleanest, safest and greenest synthetic grass on the planet.”
