What Sun Turf Inc does

Sun Turf Inc is a privately held developer, importer, and distributor of artificial grass and synthetic turf products headquartered in City of Industry, California, with a second warehouse in Simi Valley. The company sells directly to consumers and landscaping contractors through its e-commerce site (sunturfusa.com), warehouse pickup, and named sales representatives, maintaining over 120,000 square feet of inventory across its two California facilities and offering custom cut-to-size service on 12-foot and 15-foot rolls. Its portfolio spans more than 20 SKUs across landscape turf (e.g., Marathon, S-Blade92, Monterey, Palm Green, Montecito), specialty applications (Pet Turf, Putt-Pro 65 for putting greens, Wellton for playgrounds), and a complementary accessory line that includes artificial hedge panels, multiple infill options (silica sand, zeolite, Wonderfill, Camofill), and installation supplies such as turf glue, seaming tape, nails, and weed barrier fabric.

The company's core technology is built on polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyurethane turf manufacturing, with proprietary Luster Guard™ yarn technology integrated into Tidal Wave-shaped blades to diffuse sunlight and reduce shine. Products are SGS-certified, marketed as lead-free and antimicrobial, and backed by a 16-year warranty. Founder Kathryn Marshall leads a small team (approximately 5 employees), and the business model is one-time transactional sales of physical goods with no recurring revenue component. The customer base is split between residential homeowners seeking water-saving, low-maintenance lawns and professional landscaping contractors purchasing for client installations.
