History

In 1943, Rozzi Clark purchased Rocky Mountain Evergreen Nursery, a 160-acre nursery plot consisting of over 1 million spruce trees. As the nursery business progressed, the Clark family expanded into landscaping and porch building for residences in the Evergreen area. Evergreen Supply Company was formed. Several years following the expansion of Evergreen Supply Company, the Clark sons led an LP gas, real estate, and heavy construction company.

From 1944 to present, Rozzi’s son Budd took the reigns of ESCO Construction Company with his two sons, Pat and Mike Clark. Over the years, ESCO has built or remodeled many buildings on Evergreen’s Main Street including the Evergreen National Bank complex and Mountain Pharmacy Building, El Rancho Restaurant, Christ the King Church, and many of the subdivisions in Evergreen, including the Ridge at Hiwan, Greenwood, and The Promontory.

Today, ESCO Construction Company is run by third and fourth generation owners, Pat Clark and his son, Eric, with operations across Colorado.
