Absolutely. Standing water from poor grading is a major issue in our area and can lead to root rot, fungal diseases, and increased insect problems for your shrubs. At Fourniers, our landscape maintenance and shrub care services include evaluating your yard's drainage. We can often regrade the lawn around sensitive plantings and implement shrub care practices that mitigate these risks, protecting your investment.

Our management starts with a site-specific inspection, as many shrub diseases and pests thrive in damp conditions caused by standing water. We identify issues like fungal infections or borers that are common in the Richford area. Our treatment focuses on environmentally responsible solutions and, crucially, addresses the underlying cause—like improving drainage through regrading or adjusting our lawn care routine—to prevent future outbreaks and promote long-term shrub health.

Yes, we provide a full cycle of care. If a shrub is beyond saving due to root rot from poor drainage, our team can safely perform shrub removal. We then assess the site, often correcting the grade to prevent water pooling. Finally, we specialize in shrub transplanting and planting, and can recommend and install native or water-tolerant species better suited to your Richford property's specific conditions, ensuring a healthier landscape.
