Landscaping Services on Whidbey Island

Whidbey Island is a beautiful place to own property and a difficult place to landscape. Our crews have been working island soil since 2004, and we build outdoor spaces designed around what your site actually does rather than what looks good in a catalog.

Estimates are free and detailed, and there is never a year-round contract. Call us and we will walk the property with you.

Our Complete Landscaping Services

We handle the full scope of residential and commercial landscaping, which means one crew, one point of contact, and no coordinating between three different contractors.

Trimming and Pruning

Expert trimming and pruning of trees, hedges, and shrubs to keep growth in shape and plants healthy. Timing matters here. Prune the wrong species in the wrong month on this island and you lose a season of bloom or invite disease into a fresh cut.

Flowerbed Design, Installation, and Planting

We design and install beds that hold up to island conditions. That usually means choosing plants deer will leave alone, siting them for the sun exposure and wind your property actually gets, and amending soil that is often heavier and rockier than it looks.

Sod Installation and Lawn Seeding

Sod for an instant lawn, seeding when you want the better long-term root system and a lower cost. We prepare the base properly either way, because grass laid over compacted glacial till will thin out inside two seasons no matter how good the sod was.

Retaining Walls and French Drains

Structural work that solves the drainage and slope problems island properties are known for. We build block and natural stone retaining walls, install French drains, and regrade to move water away from foundations, patios, and planting beds.

Lawn Maintenance and Restoration

Ongoing mowing, edging, thatching, and aeration, plus full restoration for lawns that have been let go. Overgrown property after a long deployment or a season away is one of our most common calls, and we have crews who specialize in bringing those back.

And More

Moss removal, weed control, bark and mulch installation, lawn edging, gutter cleaning, and seasonal cleanups. If it sits outside your house, we probably handle it.

Landscaping Built for Whidbey Island Conditions

Most of this island sits on glacial till with a dense hardpan layer underneath. Water hits that layer and stops, which is why so many yards here hold standing water from November through February and then bake hard by August.

That single fact drives most of our design decisions. Beds get built up or drained rather than dug into a bowl. Slopes get a wall before they get plants. Irrigation gets planned because the Olympic rain shadow keeps our summers genuinely dry, drier than most people expect from western Washington.

Then there are the deer, which will test almost anything you plant, and salt wind on the exposed lots. We plan for all of it up front. It costs a little more on day one and saves a replant three years in.

How We Work

1. Free on-site estimate. We walk the property, look at drainage, sun, soil, access, and listen to what you actually want out of the space.
2. Written proposal. Detailed and itemized, with no vague line items and no surprises at invoice time.
3. Scheduling. We tell you a realistic window and we call if anything moves.
4. Installation. Our own crews, not subcontractors we met last week.
5. Walkthrough. We go over the finished work with you and explain what the new plantings need in their first year.

Why Whidbey Island Property Owners Choose Evergreen

We opened in 2004, but our family has been part of this island for generations. That local knowledge is the difference between a landscape that looks good on install day and one that still looks good in year five.

• No year-round contracts. Start when you need us, stop when you don't. All we ask is a two-week notice.
• Woman-owned and operated for over 20 years, with the same owner walking properties and writing bids.
• Licensed, bonded, and insured, and members of the Concrete Masonry Hardscape Association.
• Honest estimates. If a project would make your problem worse, we will tell you instead of writing the bid.

Serving Communities Across Whidbey Island

We work the full length of the island and beyond, including Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Freeland, Greenbank, Langley, and Clinton, plus Fidalgo Island and the Skagit Valley.

Conditions change quickly here. A property in Greenbank does not drain like a property near Cornet Bay, and a bluff lot in Coupeville faces salt wind that an inland Oak Harbor yard never sees. We plan around what your specific site is doing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to sign a year-round contract for landscape mowing and regular maintenance?

No. We do not require annual contracts for any service. If you sign up for recurring work and need to stop, we simply ask for a two-week notice.

Why does my Whidbey Island yard stay soggy all winter?

Most island properties sit on glacial till over a dense hardpan layer that water cannot pass through. Winter rain collects on top of it. Depending on the site, the fix is regrading, a French drain, a retaining wall, or a combination of the three.

Can you work on my property while I am off-island?

Yes, and we do it often. We maintain properties for owners stationed elsewhere, seasonal residents, and families who have moved away entirely. We can send updates and photos so you know exactly what is happening.

Is there a minimum project size?

None. We take single flower beds and full property redesigns with the same crew and the same standards.
