Every August, some crew in a pickup sells you a “hurricane cut” — and strips your palms to pencil points.
The University of Florida studied it: 99% of native palms rode out hurricane winds untouched. The stripped ones died faster — weaker, more disease, often gone within a year.
A palm's fronds are its stomach. Cut too many and it starves. An $8,000 date palm can be dead in 18 months — and the crew that killed it is already three houses down.
9-to-3 prune (correct)
UF/IFAS standard
Hurricane cut (wrong)
Starves the palm. Kills the tree.
Science-Backed Pruning
We prune to UF/IFAS research — not “how it's always done.” Tools sanitized between every palm. No hurricane cuts. Ever.
Written Standards
A published 54-page field manual. You get a copy. Your crew follows it every visit — ask any other company in Florida for theirs.
Palms are our specialty. They're not all we do — our maintenance crews handle mowing, edging, hedges, and full-property upkeep on the same schedule, including large lots.
Most crews climb palms on spikes or park a bucket truck on your lawn. We climb with purpose-built European palm-climbing gear instead. The trunk stays intact, and we can reach palms no lift can get to.
- Trunk stays intactNo spikes means no permanent wounds piling up over your palm's life.
- Less disease riskNo open holes from palm to palm, and sanitized blades between every tree.
- Reaches anywherePool decks, courtyards, tight side yards, palms between sidewalks. If we can walk to it, we can climb it.
- No machine damageNo bucket truck or spider lift means no ruts, no cracked pavers, and no crushed irrigation heads.
Spike wounds we leave in your palm
0
Spikes come out only for removals.
A palm can't grow over a wound. Every spike hole stays for the life of the tree.
ACTIVE FEDERAL SUBCONTRACT

My name is Jakub. I grew up in the Florida Keys. My dad's a builder. I've been cutting, planting, and fixing this state's yards since I was old enough to hold a rake.
I started Evergreen Islands because I was tired of seeing $15,000 palms killed by $20-an-hour crews who didn't know what a meristem was.
Today we maintain the grounds at the National Weather Service in Key West. We manage properties from Big Pine to Fort Myers. And we're the only company I know of in Florida with a published field manual our crew is trained on before they ever touch your palms.
If that sounds different from the landscaper you had last year — good. That's the point.

Objections, answered
Residential service typically runs $250–$500 per month depending on property size and service tier. Vacation rentals and larger estates are higher. After the walkthrough you get three transparent options — Essential, Signature, First Class — and you pick the one that fits. Pricing is locked for 12 months.
No. We work month to month. Cancel any visit with 48 hours notice. If we're not earning your business every month, we shouldn't keep it.
Cheap landscaping is expensive. A $50-a-visit crew butchering a $15,000 Canary Date Palm costs you the palm. We're not the cheapest. We're the last one you'll hire — because your palms will actually be healthier in three years than they are today.
Most of our clients do. We send a photo report after every visit, bill through whichever card you set up, and handle guests, deliveries, and emergencies without calling you. Absentee owners are our specialty.
We book most walkthroughs within 7–10 days. Once you sign on, most monthly clients start within 2 weeks. Urgent cleanups can often be scheduled sooner — call the 747 if it's time-sensitive.
Yes. We coordinate visits around your booking calendar, clean up before turnover days, and send photo reports your cleaning company and guests can see. Nothing kills an Airbnb review like a yard full of debris on arrival day.
The Florida Keys (from Key West through Key Largo) and Fort Myers / Cape Coral. If you're outside those areas and still interested, call — we sometimes make exceptions for larger commercial projects.
Thirty seconds of questions. A personalized itinerary. A free 54-page guide. And zero pressure — walk away any time.
