Evergreen Horticulture Services Ltd.

What Evergreen Horticulture Services Ltd. does

Evergreen Horticulture Services Ltd. is a private, family-owned property maintenance company founded in 2006 by brothers Colin and Murray Horne in Sherwood Park, Alberta. The company provides residential and commercial yard care services spanning weekly lawn maintenance (cut to a 2.5-inch standard height with angle-cutting technique), seasonal spring and fall clean-ups, bed maintenance led by a Certified Landscape Gardener with 30+ years of experience, small-scale tree and shrub pruning, custom landscaping installations (patios, retaining walls, plantings, water features), and contract snow removal during the November–March winter season. Service quality differentiation rests on operational practices (sharp-blade maintenance program run by a full-time mechanic, angle-cutting to prevent rutting) and certified horticultural talent rather than on proprietary technology.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer, quote-based pricing model with no publicly listed packages. Customers reach out via a website contact form, phone (780) 464-7900, or email ([email protected]) to receive customized quotes; services are then delivered on customer properties using an in-house fleet of 19 trucks and 12 trailers. Evergreen serves 300+ clients across Sherwood Park and Strathcona County, segmented across residential homeowners, commercial property owners, seniors aging in place, and small condo/HOA accounts. Marketing is community-led, relying on Chamber of Commerce membership, BBB accreditation, Facebook presence, customer testimonials, and word-of-mouth referrals rather than paid advertising. The company holds a comprehensive regulatory stack (WCB, $5M liability insurance, pesticide applicator certification, Alberta Pre-Pay Contractors License, commercial vehicle registration, WHMIS and first-aid trained crews) and operates from a three-bay shop at 416 Kaska Road, Sherwood Park. Year-round core staff includes a Horticulturalist, a landscape foreman, and several crew leads, with seasonal headcount expanding to 30+ during peak spring and summer months through student hiring.
