Home and business owners alike appreciate a soft green lawn. It’s cozy and inviting, and makes you feel at home. That grass is like a blank canvas for any other landscaping feature you’d like to include on your property, and it serves a variety of practical functions.

A healthy lawn resists weeds and pests while absorbing greenhouse gasses and other pollutants. It reduces dust in your house, and it prevents erosion, which helps ensure your other landscaping features and your house itself are built on solid ground. Of course, a soft, comfortable lawn also creates an ideal place to play, lounge, or complete a project.

All of that is made possible with proper lawn fertilization. The team at Better View Landscapes has 25 years of lawn and landscaping experience in Amherst, Massachusetts and throughout the Pioneer Valley, and we’ve perfected our process to include a 5-Application Lawn Care Program that supports the health of your lawn from April to October by providing your soil with essential nutrients and reducing the risk of a takeover by crabgrass or other weeds and pests.

Every year, we reassess our programs to ensure they address the current needs of our local soil and grass. At Better View, we’re not just here to provide lawn fertilization and other lawn care services. We’re here to give you the support you need to care for your property, even in our absence, and we’re ready to answer any questions you might have. Contact us to learn more. If you sign up for one of our three effective lawn fertilization programs before April 1, you’ll receive a 10% discount.

Why Fertilize Your Lawn?

It’s about more than aesthetics. Yes, a fertilized lawn grows thick and green, but that lush growth offers additional benefits. 

When your grass is dense and strong, there’s less room for weed growth and the grass naturally fends off attacks from pests. Fertilizer provides the soil with necessary nutrients that support grass growth and creates a solid foundation for any future landscaping endeavors you decide to pursue.

Simply put, lawn fertilization is lawn health, and a healthy lawn means fewer chores, hassles, and expensive remediation. It helps you create a thriving outdoor space with minimal dust and erosion. When you work with Better View Landscapes, you take advantage of our years of local experience and in-depth understanding of regional soil, climate, and horticulture. We offer three customizable lawn fertilization programs, in addition to complete lawn care and other landscaping services, so we can manage all your outdoor improvements in-house.

Our friendly, knowledgeable team provides responsive communication, cutting-edge equipment and technology, and streamlined processes so you can relax and let us handle all the details.

Below you will find pricing for our 3 different fertilizing options. These plans are built utilizing high-grade fertilizers, advice from industry experts, along with university extension service publications. We adjust our programs year to year (and even application to application) to match the current needs of lawns in our growing region.

Clients Appreciate Our All-Inclusive Approach and In-House Expertise

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!

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.
