The Story, Meaning, and People Behind ForeverLawn

The Industry Leader

ForeverLawn is the leading artificial turf company known for developing high-performance synthetic grass systems designed to solve real-world challenges. From residential lawns and commercial spaces to sports fields and pet environments, we deliver solutions where natural grass falls short, so every landscape can be beautiful, safe, and resilient. That’s Grass Without Limits.

A family business from the start, ForeverLawn is the longest-standing privately held company in the turf industry, allowing us to preserve the values that have always defined who we are. Our nationwide dealer network brings together local expertise and personal service with the strength, innovation, and consistency of a trusted national company.

Our Philosophy

Market Driven. Solution Focused.

We believe the best solutions are shaped by real‑world demands, not manufacturing convenience. We started in the field, meeting customers in their backyards and listening to their challenges, and then developed purpose‑built systems tailored to each environment.

We reject the idea that one size fits all. Every application is unique, and the product should reflect that. Whether it’s for landscapes, playgrounds, pets, or athletic fields, we design each solution specifically to deliver the best possible performance and experience. In a market trending toward convenience over performance, our commitment to purposeful design continues to set us apart.

We also believe relationships matter. Our customers are partners, and our responsibility extends beyond the project. We are dedicated to supporting them long after installation, building lasting relationships rooted in trust and service.

Natural grass has its limits. Too much or too little rain, inconsistent sunlight, heavy use, and pets can make it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to maintain. Where natural grass falls short, we step in with solutions designed to go further. That’s Grass Without Limits.

 

Our Core Values

More than a product — a promise. These three principles guide every dealer, every installation, and every relationship we build.

The ForeverLawn Family

Our Story

  1. 2002 | Emerging

    In 2002, Dale and Brian Karmie made a daring move from Northern Ohio to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to join the emerging artificial turf industry. They took a leap of faith and decided to start a new dealership—with absolutely no experience.

     

  2. 2004 | Learning

    In 2004, the company Dale and Brian were representing unexpectedly went bankrupt. The two brothers faced a tough choice: give up or forge ahead. Leaning into the Christian faith and work ethic they learned from their father, the brothers decided to press on and founded ForeverLawn.
  3. 2004 – 2007 | Growing

    Over the next three years, the Karmie brothers developed the ForeverLawn Dealer Network: a collection of independent business owners dedicated to bringing premium artificial turf solutions to their local communities. ForeverLawn grew in size and capability, crafting unique product lines tailored to specific unmet needs in the industry.

  4. 2004 – 2013 | Innovating

    As the company continued to expand, Brian and Dale took a unique market-driven approach to design. They focused on solving real customer needs rather than simply selling product. This innovation brought about industry-defining changes—from artificial pet grass specifically designed for dogs to the first fall-safe turf system for playgrounds to adding tan thatch into the grass blades for enhanced realism.
  5. 2014 | Renewed Vision

    As ForeverLawn grew, it faces some real challenges: the financial crisis, shifts in the turf industry, and the growing pains of a scaling business. By 2014, Dale and Brian decided to lift their heads from the daily grind and define what they were really building toward. What would take them from surviving to truly thriving? They set a bold 2020 vision—a clear, measurable, ambitious goal. It sparked fresh energy across the team and their dealer network, giving everyone a shared target to rally around. With the ForeverLawn network united and reinvigorated, the company began to grow like never before.
  6. 2015- Today | Next Generation

    Today, ForeverLawn has more than 80 dealers across the United States and Canada and continues to develop innovative ways to improve spaces and lives. The Karmie brothers have stayed true to their roots, hiring quality people and helping dealers establish flourishing ForeverLawn businesses of their own. ForeverLawn now consists of several generational, legacy dealerships which have each become leaders in their communities and influencers across the industry. The company’s history and continued growth positions ForeverLawn as a solution-driven organization which provides premium synthetic grass products for a world of Grass Without Limits.

Rooted in Values

The ForeverLawn Fs

These values are our foundation and guide our teams in everything we do. Just like grass needs solid roots to grow, these values will help us stay grounded in what matters.

As Christian men, our founders have relied on their faith in Jesus Christ to direct their decisions and shape their business. By faith, the Karmie brothers stepped into the unknown to start ForeverLawn, knowing it was what they were called to do. As the company has grown, faith continues to be its anchor, driving our values, operations, and how we treat our team and our customers.
