Our Story
Evergreen Lawn was founded by Troy Simpson in 1997 as a lawn maintenance business. In 2006, Troy’s lifelong friend Kevin Motley joined the business as partner. Troy and Kevin met through tobacco farming as kids, and the hard work and dedication they learned during their upbringing translates into the way they run the business to this day.
Evergreen has grown to become a full-service landscaping company that focuses on creating and maintaining premiere outdoor environments. Our mission is to be a quality turnkey solution for all landscaping needs and form relationships that create customers for life. We take pride in the fact that we still serve our very first client to this day.
Whether you want a healthier and greener lawn, an irrigation system, a water feature, new pavers, or a combination of services - we can work with you every step of the way. One of our founding principles is “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” Quality, dependability, and integrity have been our best marketing tool for over 25 years.
Just as our values set us apart, the quality of our work sets our lawns apart. We use a science-based approach to create the healthiest lawns, professional landscapes, and expertly crafted hardscapes.
Evergreen is a company that believes in forming relationships to create quality landscapes you’ll be proud of.
