Evergreen Landscaping handles both landscape design and year-round maintenance for Oklahoma City homeowners, operating as a locally owned company that works across the city's diverse neighborhoods from Edmond to Midwest City.
The company divides its work into two tracks: design projects that reshape yards from scratch or substantially overhaul existing beds and hardscaping, and recurring maintenance that covers seasonal cleanup, mowing, mulch refresh, and pruning. Most clients use both services on a staggered basis, bringing in design for a renovation every few years and scheduling maintenance monthly during the growing season (April through October) and quarterly during dormancy.
Design consultations are free and take place at your property; the designer walks the lot, discusses sun exposure and water access, and explains what grows well in Oklahoma City's zone 7b climate. Design fees for a full yard overhaul typically start at $800 for straightforward residential plans and reach $2,500 or more for complex multi-zone properties with hardscaping and specialty plantings. Installation costs run separately and vary by material and scope; a mid-range bed renovation with new soil, plants, and mulch averages $1,200 to $3,000 per area.
Maintenance pricing breaks down by frequency and lot size. Monthly mowing and basic upkeep for a standard residential lot in Oklahoma City neighborhoods runs $120 to $180 per visit during the growing season. Quarterly maintenance packages, which cluster pruning and seasonal tasks, cost between $400 and $700 per quarter. Spring cleanup after winter and fall leaf management are priced per visit or bundled into annual contracts; homeowners who commit to a 12-month plan typically save 10 to 15 percent versus month-to-month scheduling. Verify current rates when you call, as pricing adjusts seasonally and by service intensity.
Most landscaping in Oklahoma City splits into three categories: large commercial-focused firms that take residential work as secondary business, independent solo contractors who handle basic mowing and cleanup, and companies like Evergreen that center on residential design and maintenance. Larger firms such as those based in Edmond often require higher minimums and work on longer project cycles; they suit homeowners with substantial budgets and complex drainage or hardscape needs. Solo contractors cost less per visit (often $80 to $120 for basic mowing) but typically do not offer design consultation or multi-season planning. Evergreen sits between these tiers, providing professional design without the premium of a full commercial landscape architecture firm, and offering reliable recurring service without the inconsistency common to one-person operations.
Choose Evergreen if you want continuity: the same crew learns your yard across seasons and can flag problems early. Choose a larger firm if you are planning a major renovation involving retaining walls, irrigation installation, or extensive hardscape. Choose a solo contractor if your needs are basic mowing and seasonal cleanup with no design work.
Evergreen works best for homeowners in established Oklahoma City neighborhoods who want their yards maintained on a predictable schedule without managing multiple vendors. It is a good fit if you are new to the region and need guidance on what thrives in Oklahoma's heat and occasional ice storms. The company also serves people planning to sell; a well-maintained, thoughtfully planted yard increases curb appeal in a competitive market.
Evergreen is less suitable if you need only emergency cleanup after a storm, prefer ultra-budget pricing, or have specialized needs like sports field maintenance or commercial grounds. It also does not handle tree removal or major tree work; those require separate certified arborists.
Call to schedule a free property visit. The designer will arrive with a tablet to document existing plantings, sun patterns throughout the day, and drainage concerns. Bring photos of yards or plants you like, and note any problem areas: spots where nothing grows, drainage pooling, or shade that deepens each year. The designer will ask about your maintenance tolerance (some clients want low-maintenance native plantings; others want vibrant seasonal color that needs regular attention) and your budget range. You will leave with a written proposal and a timeline; most projects start within two to four weeks.
Evergreen operates Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and accepts calls or online requests for estimates. The company is based in central Oklahoma City and serves most neighborhoods within the metro area; jobs in far-north or far-south suburbs may carry a travel fee. Maintenance crews arrive on a scheduled day each month; rescheduling due to weather or your preference is handled by phone or app notification.
Evergreen Landscaping fills a practical role in Oklahoma City's home maintenance landscape: experienced enough to guide newcomers through zone 7b planting, consistent enough to manage yards across multiple seasons, and scaled to serve the city's residential market without the overhead of a regional commercial firm.
