This edition of our periodic “post” from Ever-Green is shared as nothing more than a “heads up”… a heads up relative to whenever the snow and the sub-zero temperatures subside for the final time. It’s for those of us who long for spring, warm weather, and the regeneration of our lawns and landscaping…color, form, and

It’s perhaps a not-so-well-kept secret (and no secret at all) on the street, but it’s also a welcomed collaboration between two of the area’s most trusted lawn and landscaping services. What people will be talking about is the joining forces of Ever-Green and Powell’s Lawn Services, owned by Jerry Powell, for the 2014 growing season
