Forever Green

What Forever Green does

Forever Green is a commercial landscaping company founded in 1989 and headquartered in Daniel Island, Charleston, South Carolina. The company provides full-service grounds management to commercial property owners across the South Carolina Lowcountry, serving office parks, retail shopping centers, multifamily housing, homeowners associations (HOAs), historic commercial properties, and senior living communities. Its service portfolio spans eight integrated offerings: commercial landscape management, landscape design and installation, irrigation and drainage services, hardscape construction, certified arborist tree care, professional chemical application, low-voltage LED landscape lighting, and year-round maintenance including seasonal color rotations, snow and ice removal, and living-wall installations.

The company's technical footprint combines conventional landscape construction with light technology integration in select service lines, including smart irrigation systems with weather sensors and remote-controlled timers, professional drainage solutions tailored to Charleston's high water tables, and energy-efficient LED lighting. Delivery relies on uniformed, trained field crews dispatched by dedicated account managers (Daniel, Marcus, Dillon, Kevin) who serve as named points of contact for specific properties. Operations run from a single Daniel Island headquarters serving approximately 11 sub-markets across the Lowcountry.

Commercially, Forever Green operates a hybrid revenue model: recurring monthly maintenance contracts underwritten at the property level (the primary revenue stream) supplemented by project-based design, installation, hardscape, lighting, and tree services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with free estimates and "Request a Bid" intake via website and phone. The go-to-market motion is relationship-driven enterprise field sales targeting property managers, HOA boards, and real estate developers. The company is privately held and family-owned, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or executive leadership transitions in the available data.
