Austins Landscape Service | Landscaping Services in Stillwater, ME 04489

In our area, shrubs often die due to poor soil conditions, improper planting depth, winter damage, or disease. Austins helps by first diagnosing the specific issue—whether it's a nutrient deficiency, root rot, or pest problem. We then provide targeted solutions, which may include soil amendment, corrective pruning, or recommending hardy, native replacement shrubs that thrive in Stillwater's climate.

We practice expert renewal pruning, which is crucial for overgrown shrubs in Stillwater. Instead of just shearing the tops, we strategically remove older, woody stems at the base to encourage healthy new growth from the inside out. This method, done at the right time of year, restores the shrub's natural shape, improves air circulation to prevent disease, and solves visibility and safety issues without harming the plant's long-term health.

Absolutely. A key part of our service is replacing struggling, non-native shrubs with resilient varieties proven to succeed in Stillwater's environment. We'll recommend and install local favorites like winterberry holly, viburnums, or rugosa roses that offer seasonal interest, require less maintenance, and are naturally resistant to common local pests and diseases, ensuring a healthier, more sustainable landscape for your home.
