About us

Evergreen Gene’s was started in the mid 50’s by Gene Marcus on the corner of 4th Avenue & Crain Highway. The Hudson family bought the business in 1978 from Gene. It was operated by Jack Hudson until his retirement in 1991 when the 3 sons who had been working by his side took over the day-to-day operations. Craig, John & Jay Hudson have constantly worked over the years to improve service by expanding the landscape department & bringing in highly trained employees in landscaping and garden management. The entire Hudson family lives in central Anne Arundel County & knows the particular problems that landscaping in this county might present. We are hands-on owners that you can come in and talk to any time here at the garden center.

I didn't like the fact that I bought two certain trees and they tagged them with my name, but when they came out to install them, they were not anywhere near the size of the ones that I had picked out. I bought 12' trees and the ones they brought out were 6' or 7' trees. They then gave me two free trees the following year to make up for the problem. They were punctual, but they brought the wrong trees and sold mine to someone else. I haven't used them since then and I have broken ties with them. Nothing was positive about this particular experience and it made me very angry.
Description of Work: I bought two Thuja Green Giant trees. I actually bought four trees total and they planted them.

Description of Work: They have been OK, I've got the impression that I'm not their #1 customer, I don't think that is a good way to run a business, I feel like i have to pry them to get the work done. I'm thinking very seriously about changing my lawn care company.

I was not pleased. I don't see a difference. They weren't responsive when I called them about my lawn; the one that happened. They're just irresponsible when I called them on the phone. I don't know when they were coming up.
Description of Work: I used Evergreen Genes Inc. What they were supposed to do was treating my lawn and fertilized it.

Unfortunately you will not get a miracle with one or two treatments on a lawn, it takes a consistent program over time to get real results.

They laid clay over the top of my lawn, and called it "topsoil". Most of my grass died, and then they blamed me for putting it down. I asked them to use black humus, but they used gray clay against my advisement. Now, that it's almost a year later, it's hard as a rock. Topsoil, indeed. I will not be using their services or store again in the future.
Description of Work: They came out to re-seed my lawn and add topsoil.

We wanted something bigger than we could do ourselves to get the privacy quicker. The recommended European HornBeam trees which make a great hedging. They came out planted and mulch the trees. They provide guidance on how to care for the trees. As far as I can tell they survived a very hot summer and cold winter.

I have since purchased other plants from them and have always found a good selection of high-quality plant materials and decent prices. This local nursery deserves our support. It's very low-key, nothing fancy but real country-like. I always wish I had more time to browse through all their shelves of garden stuff!
Description of Work: I bought 3 Japanese evergreens at Gene's last year and one died within 6 months. Even though I had lost my receipt and it was probably our fault that it died ("wet feet"), they honored their 1-year warranty when I went to them with the news. I received a full refund toward the price of another of the same type, which was not on sale at the time. So, I paid a little more, but I felt they treated us very fairly, considering we inadvertently planted it wrong in the first place.

I would like to give these guys a good review but I really can't. Would I use them again????- MAYBE for certain things. We wanted low key steps down the slope. Ours ended up looking like the Great Wall of China. No workers spoke English and no supervisor came out with workmen. They didn't really seem to know what had been agreed upon. Every one was very cooperative but that didn't make up for the problems. After the first rain, our steps were ponds and a stone flipped when my husband stepped on it. They were prompt to respond but ruined our relatively new driveway with a leaking truck. They fixed that (it took a year) but it still doesn't look good. When they sodded, they put a landscape tie over the sump pump drain. It took us a year to find that. They fixed that also. Now we are finally finished. The steps are functional but not a thing of beauty. The owners try really hard and worked with us. But, if I had known what was in store, I would have gone somewhere else for the work.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. John came out and looked over the property, gave us a design and a quote within a week. The quote was quite reasonable for the scope of work. The crew arrived when promised and completed everything in a couple of days with no problems or surprises. Beautiful job and we are enjoying our new backyard very much!

Contacted this company based upon solid reviews from the website, Someone came out to do an estimate and based upon comparison of this estimate with other landscaping companies I decided to go with this company. I paid 1/3 down to get put on the schedule and in 2 weeks the the work was done. All of the debris from the weeding and shrubs were put in large trash bags and placed in the front of the house for removal. Overall good experience.

I called them back because I needed a thicker layer of mulch and they did. They also didn't pull some weeds because they thought they were flowers. I have used them in the past but they needed to come back to remedy some of their issues.

On April 2 I had Evergreen's come out to survey the requested work and I had provided a list of the items I wanted to have completed. John was prompt, very friendly and professional. We walked the property and discussed the list of items I presented to him, he provided suggestions on how best to resolve an erosion problem I as having and we agreed to a solution. John indicated he should have a proposal to me by the end of the week. I received the proposal the following Monday, April 7. After reviewing the proposal I had a couple of questions and wanted to have the proposal broken out by three seperate jobs, I contacted Evergreens on 4/16. Due to it being the height of the spring cleaning the team was out on scheduled work and the office could not get in touch with John to clarify some of his notes regarding my requests. On April 25th I did receive adequate responses to all of my questions and a further breakout listing the jobs seperately as I had requested. I was on vacation and when I returned I signed the contract and sent a deposit of 1/3 down on May 8. The work was scheduled for the morning of June 5. Evergreens arrived promptly with a team of 3 and got right to work. Although the proposal stated the work would be completed in one day, it did take a couple of hours the next morning to finish. They were all very professional, great to work with and I would definitely use them again. On June 22 I received an invoice for amount owed and it was exactly as I expected. They also enclosed an 11 page document providing excellent information on the care of new landscaping.
Description of Work: I had Evergreen Gene's basically complete 3 seperate jobs for me.I had a spring clean-up completed for all flower beds, weed, prune, fertilize, edge and mulched. This is a large area and takes approximately 5-6 yards to mulch. I had several plants split, replanted and one shrub dug up and moved to another area of the yard.The second part of the job I had to correct an erosion problem that affected a large area in the back yard as well as the front yard. Evergreen's layed 2x8 pressure treated boards to help with water run off, added 2 tons of screend top soil in the back yard. In the front yard they raked out the damaged eroded areas, aerated, applied 3 tons of top soil, seed, fertilizer, lime and Curlex to this area.The 3rd job I asked to have completed was to prepare two new flower beds in the front yard, plant and mulch a total of 6 azaleas. All this work took the team one full day to complete. They arrived timely and worked the entire day. The team was very professional, did an excellent job and I'm very pleased with the work. Althought the work was scheduled for one full day, they hadn't fully completed on the initial day and came back early the next day to complete a couple small tasks, cleaned up and hauled away all of the debris. I couldn't be more pleased with the results and I even have grass growing again.

Craig, John, and Renee were very professional. I originally emailed them pictures of my existing stone wall and my address. John came out within a day or two and Renee quickly followed it up with a proposal that included the price and all the terms and conditions. Once I signed and returned the proposal they sent out a crew and materials to complete the project. The crew finished in one day and did a great job cleaning up after themselves. I will use Evergreen Gene's in the future and highly recommend that you contact them and give them a chance to compete.
Description of Work: Evergreen Gene's replaced my falling stone wall with a new stone wall. The new wall is a lot more sturdier and looks a lot more professional.
