Impotant infor regarding your landscaping!

Florida properties don’t “stay nice.” They get reclaimed.

In Polk County, your yard is either being maintained… or it’s slowly being taken back by fast growth, saturated soil, and storm leftovers.

That’s why Evergreen Lawns & Landscaping is built for the tough jobs—tree trimming & removal, dirt work & grading, excavation & drainage, and full land clearing—the things that make a property clean, safe, and usable again.

Here’s our simple system we use to “reset” a property from overwhelmed to dialed-in:


Step 1: Make it safe (trees, hazards, storm damage)

Before anything looks pretty, it has to be safe.

If you’ve got dead limbs, leaning trunks, trees rubbing the roofline, or storm-damaged branches, that’s where we start:

  • Tree trimming

  • Tree removal

  • Stump removal

  • Storm damage cleanup

  • Hazard tree assessment

Why this comes first: a perfect landscape means nothing if a heavy limb drops in the next storm.


Step 2: Clear the chaos (brush removal, lot cleanup, land clearing)

Most “ugly yards” are really just cluttered land—brush, vine mats, scattered debris, overgrown edges, and unusable corners.

This is where a property starts to breathe again:

  • Brush removal

  • Lot cleanup

  • Full land clearing

Evergreen rule: don’t design around mess. Remove the mess, then decide what the land should become.


Step 3: Fix the land (grading, excavation, drainage)

Florida doesn’t forgive bad drainage. If water sits, it kills grass, invites mosquitoes, and turns “low spots” into permanent mud.

We correct the land itself with:

  • Grading & leveling

  • Excavation

  • Dirt work

  • French drains / water redirection

Shortcut truth: If your yard floods in summer storms, the “solution” isn’t more seed. It’s correcting how water moves.


Step 4: Build the look (landscape design + installs that actually last)

Now we make it beautiful—but in a Florida-proof way.

This is where curb appeal is built:

  • Landscape design / Florida-friendly landscape design

  • Front yard redesign + property transformation

  • Planting services + shrub trimming

  • Flower bed installation

  • Mulch installation

  • Rock installation

  • Native plant landscaping

Goal: clean lines, intentional beds, durable materials, and plants that won’t collapse the minute the weather gets weird.


Step 5: Keep it sharp (weekly maintenance + sod + irrigation repairs)

A great yard isn’t a one-time event. It’s a system.

We keep things crisp with:

  • Land mowing / lawn maintenance

  • Sod installation + lawn repair

  • Hedge trimming

  • Irrigation installation & repair

  • Sprinkler upgrades + valve repair

The win: your property stays “company-ready” without you spending every weekend fighting it.


The Evergreen difference: one crew, the whole solution

Most homeowners get stuck coordinating five different people:
Tree guy → skid steer guy → drainage guy → landscape guy → mowing guy.

Evergreen is set up to handle the full chain—from clearing and shaping the land to designing it and maintaining it—so the end result looks right and stays right.
