ATLANTA, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- SYNLawn (www.SYNLawn.com), a leading innovator on synthetic grass, today announced the signing of its latest franchise agreement with Mike Maschmeyer of Chicago Roof Deck & Gardens in Chicago. With over four decades of manufacturing experience, SYNLawn is one of the nation's foremost manufacturers, distributors and installers of high quality synthetic grass products designed specifically for landscapes.  The company currently has 20 showrooms located throughout North America.

Maschmeyer, who owns a full service outdoor design/build firm, is excited about the opportunity. "There is a tremendous demand in Chicago for outdoor living spaces," he explained. "Partnering with SYNLawn allows us to offer residential and commercial clients the most extensive range of quality artificial grass products available in the market.  We look forward to creating lush lawn environments for city dwellers lacking traditional backyards."

This agreement continues the strong franchise expansion effort for SYNLawn, which is offering entrepreneurs the unique opportunity to access a market experiencing more than 20% annual growth.
