Dream Turf's Roots

Dream Turf was founded in January 2002 by partners John Davidson and Rick Griffiths. John had spent twenty years in the lumber manufacturing business and Rick was a custom home builder. With a major paradigm shift in building materials taking place, they noticed many synthetic and composite products replacing traditional building materials. The idea was born to take synthetic lawn grass to market in the Seattle area.

The business started out in John's den and Rick's garage. They sold a turf product manufactured by the largest athletic turf producer in the world. A couple years later, Dream Turf grew to the point they needed to lease a 3000 square foot office/warehouse in Redmond, WA. In 2005, Davidson and Griffiths discovered a better manufacturing partner who could make synthetic grass to "Northwest Specifications". The business really took off and Dream Turf then moved to it's current 7 acre facility in Snohomish.

Dream Turf now distributes turf all over the country and also serves 7 dealers in the state of Washington. While the business continues to grow outside the state, they feel their foundation and roots are here in the northwest where they pioneered a new product that now has seen dramatic growth.

The synthetic grass landscape industry is still young. Davidson is a board member of the ASGI (Association of Synthetic Grass Installers), http://www.asgi.us/  where he seeks to improve quality installation standards nationwide. There are too many companies trying to install synthetic grass that either don't understand the essential steps, or ignore some and cut corners to save money. Dream Turf has always lived by the mantra of high quality turf and exceptional installation methods. Our goal through the ASGI is a vision of all turf companies installing to a higher standard where it will only help grow the entire industry through satisfied customers.

With over 1600 installations in the Puget Sound area, Dream Turf continues to be the undisputed leader in synthetic grass for landscape in the northwest. The future looks bright for continued success as the market becomes more educated about this exciting, environmentally friendly alternative.
