About
The story behind Evergreen
Jake Merrill
Owner / Founder · Layton, UT
I grew up in Davis County and have been landscaping since I was 16, helping my dad maintain properties around Layton. After years working for other companies, I started Evergreen in 2022 because I wanted to do things right — show up on time, do quality work, and not disappear after the job.
Most landscaping companies in Utah are stretched thin. They overbook, underdeliver, and treat residential clients like an afterthought. I got tired of watching homeowners deal with that. Evergreen stays small on purpose so every yard gets the attention it deserves.
I care about your lawn the way I care about my own. I won't cut corners to finish faster, and I'll tell you the honest truth about what your yard needs — even if it means a smaller invoice. That's what builds a reputation worth having.

How I work
What you can count on
Straight talk
No upsells, no runaround, no surprise invoices. I tell you what something costs and what it'll look like before I start.
Local and accountable
I live and work in Layton. My reputation here matters to me personally.
Show up every time
I keep a tight schedule and don't cancel without a call. If something comes up, I make it right.
Built to last
I use materials and methods that hold up through Utah winters. Nothing I build should need to be redone in two years.
