History

Welcome to Ewing: The Original Turf Irrigation Distributor

Ewing Irrigation Products traces its beginnings to 1922, when Atlas Lawn Sprinkler was founded in San Francisco, CA. In 1938, King W. Ewing joined Atlas, participating in sales and installation. King acquired the design and supply division in 1948, renaming it Ewing Turf Products, laying the foundation for what has developed into one of the largest wholesale providers of professional quality landscape and irrigation materials in the United States.

In 1963, King’s daughter, Sue, and her husband, Ray York, assumed the day-to-day operations of Ewing and relocated company headquarters to San Leandro, CA. In 1967 the company name was changed to Ewing Irrigation Products to reflect its metamorphosis to a full-line irrigation supply distributor. Assisting Ray and Sue in achieving their vision have been their two sons, Doug and Richard, who, since 1978, have been involved in the development and management of the company.

In 2002, Doug York was named President of Ewing, and Richard York was appointed Executive Vice President, establishing a third generation of Ewing/York family leadership. Under their direction, Ewing would grow and experience many changes: innovative ideas, expanded territories and new locations, an ever-increasing product offering, advancing technologies, and a growing team of caring and knowledgeable employees, enabling Ewing to provide customers with the best service in the industry.

Now headquartered in Phoenix, AZ, Ewing has the ability to locally serve customers in twenty-two states, and continues to be the nation’s most efficient supplier of landscape and irrigation, golf, and industrial products. Despite many years of evolution, Ewing stands strong in maintaining King Ewing’s simple but powerful philosophy: Treat Your Customers Right.
