What D.A. Hogan & Associates does

D.A. Hogan & Associates, Inc. is a privately held consulting engineering and landscape architecture firm founded in 1960 and headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, with an additional office in Seattle's Pioneer Square. The firm specializes exclusively in the design, master planning, budgeting, permitting, and construction administration of athletic facilities — specifically natural turf fields, synthetic turf fields, and running tracks. Its technical scope includes vertically draining sand-based natural turf systems with subsurface drainage, hydronic heating, and irrigation; synthetic turf with diverse infill and resilient systems; and track surfacing (base matt structural spray, sandwich, full-pour polyurethane, and Mondo systems). Notably, the firm has achieved FIFA 2-Star certification for synthetic turf soccer fields at BYU-Idaho and Providence Park — among the only such fields in the United States.

The firm serves four primary customer segments: K-12 school districts, colleges and universities (including NCAA Division I programs), professional sports franchises (NFL, MLB, MLS), and municipal parks departments. Marquee projects include Lambeau Field and practice facilities for the Green Bay Packers, T-Mobile Park (Seattle Mariners), CenturyLink Field (Seattle Seahawks/Sounders), Providence Park (Portland Timbers), and the University of Notre Dame Stadium. The firm has completed over 400 projects spanning 200+ natural turf designs, 320+ synthetic turf fields, and 100+ running tracks. Revenue is generated through professional consulting fees on individually bid and contracted projects, with no public pricing disclosure. Marketing relies on industry association leadership (Synthetic Turf Council, Sports Turf Managers Association), professional networks, and an extensive project portfolio rather than traditional channels. The leadership team comprises four named principals — David Anderson (P.E.), Robert Harding (ASLA), Jeff Burke (P.E.), and Eric Gold (ASLA) — supported by an in-house AutoCAD-based design and quality-control workflow.
