PLTS Acquires Labrie Associates

We’re Expanding!

Piscataqua Landscaping & Tree Service is proud to announce the acquisition of Design & Landscapes by Labrie Associates based out of North Hampton, New Hampshire, making it our third location. This expansion of a seacoast New Hampshire location will enable us to provide even greater services to our seacoast clients.

In a letter to his clients, previous Labrie Associates owner Mick Sheffield said, “Labrie Associates is being acquired by Piscataqua Landscaping & Tree Service from Eliot, Maine. They will continue to run this portion of their business from our current base in North Hampton, NH.  My team will all be moving over as Piscataqua Landscaping & Tree Service employees, with many more opportunities to learn and grow in the industry. It was extremely important that my team be taken care of, and this fit was right for all of us!”

As of August 1, 2022, the Labrie staff have joined Team Piscataqua to ensure a smooth transition and keep the teams in place for all existing Labrie Associates clientele. We are thrilled to have this team of experienced and skilled landscapers join our crew.

Here’s what Justin Gamester, our President & CEO has to say about the acquisition, “Discussing the possibilities and opportunities over the past months for Mick, his team and his customers has been very enjoyable. Mick and I have known each other for a long time, and it is an honor to be entrusted by someone that has long been involved in the industry.”
