Evergreen Landscape Maintenance Update

Residents,

The Evergreen Association is pleased to announce that American Landscape has been selected as the community’s new lawn and landscape maintenance vendor, effective October 1, 2026.

The new agreement is intended to provide consistent and reliable maintenance throughout Evergreen’s common areas, improve cost predictability for the Association, and establish clear service expectations and responsibilities between the Association and its landscape maintenance contractor.

As American Landscape begins its work throughout the community, there will naturally be a transition period as their team becomes familiar with Evergreen’s property, landscaping needs, and maintenance schedule. The Board of Directors and Coastal Property Management will work closely with American Landscape during this transition to help ensure a smooth start and address any areas requiring attention.

For transparency, Association members may review the executed landscape maintenance agreement here:

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation during the transition and look forward to working with American Landscape as we continue improving and maintaining Evergreen.

Thank you,

Evergreen Board of Directors
