Evergreen Design Group

What Evergreen Design Group does

Evergreen Design Group, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned commercial landscape architecture firm headquartered in Bluffton, South Carolina, founded in 2005 by Rodney McNabb. The firm operates exclusively as a B2B professional services provider serving land developers, civil engineers, architects, and design-build contractors across 40+ U.S. states, organized by six regional project director territories (West, Midwest & Northeast, Southeast, NC, FL, TX). It employs approximately 15-18 landscape architects, landscape designers, and irrigation designers working from fully remote home offices distributed across all four continental U.S. time zones, with a wholly-owned North Carolina subsidiary (Evergreen Design Group of North Carolina, PLLC) used to comply with state-level licensing requirements.

The firm's core offerings integrate three disciplines under one roof: land planning (feasibility analysis, conceptual site plans, zoning research, entitlement support), landscape architecture (planting plans, tree disposition plans, hardscape designs, community amenities design), and irrigation design (drip, spray, rotor, two-wire centralized systems, hydraulic calculations, water conservation compliance with regulations such as California MWELO and Texas TCEQ). Technology is centered on AutoCAD-based production with standardized CAD layer conventions, 3D modeling for project visualization, and screen-share based remote collaboration for live client review sessions. A separate Program Management service line addresses multi-site developers running national rollout programs with prototypical plans and standardized design guidelines.

Revenue is earned through project-based professional services fees tied to scope, complexity, and jurisdictional requirements, with no public pricing and no subscription or recurring component disclosed. Go-to-market combines a direct consultative sales motion through regional project directors, an SEO-optimized website with state-specific landing pages, and content marketing via technical blog posts and regulatory white papers. The firm maintains active landscape architecture registrations in 40+ states (including NC, CA, TX, AZ, FL, SC) and operates across ten project sectors spanning retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, civic, and industrial development. No external institutional investment, acquisitions, or public listing are indicated in the source data.
