Real Outdoor Transformations

Our landscaping services are second to none in New England, but don’t take our word for it! Take a look at our reviews to see what our loyal customers have to say.

When we bought our home, the back acre had been cleared years ago but not maintained, so we had a thick patch of thorny growth and grapevine that made it impassible to the nearby forest. Initially we just wanted it all cleared, but Tory had some great ideas to make it into something far more beautiful. Now we have a meandering path through wildflower meadow, a fire pit, a fruit orchard, and a playing field that has completely changed our yard. Would highly recommend Better View for your design needs!

Aaron Becker

Better View and their Team are top notch and are super easy to hire and work with. I submitted a request for service via their website and the sent me an email super quick to setup a phone call to discuss our needs. They answer the phone when you call , return emails and overall great to work with.

Daniel Burke

I’ve been working with Better View Landscapes for several years now.  They have a great system of communication by email. The work is done quickly and with attention to detail.  My lawn looks healthy and tidy.  I keep bees there, and Better View Landscapes uses only products that are not harmful to them.  I also count on Better View for snowplowing in the winter.  They’ve always gotten the job done well.  Highly recommended.

Anne Griffin

Better View Landscapes has been servicing our property since 2011.  We’re grateful for their expertise, courteous staff and professionalism throughout the years.  Our property is impeccably maintained year round and an oasis when we return home from work.  The owner is extremely responsive and works with us in our countless questions.  Highly recommended!
