Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, Nylawn is a Licensed Landscape Contractor and Hawaii's leader in the synthetic turf industry. Rory D. Otto, founder, had a vision to have his very own Backyard Golf Resort. Through vigorous research and testing it became quite apparent that Synthetic Turf International, STI, was the choice supplier of synthetic putting greens, lawn, fringe grasses, playground safety surfacing and sports fields. STI maintains a long lasting endorsement relationship with David Leadbetter, the well-known and most sought after golf instructor. NyLawn soon became the exclusive partner of STI for the Hawaiian Islands.
