You might be fed up with fighting patchy grass, brown spots, and insect infestations, but you don’t have to give up on your lawn. With the right lawn renovation program, your Amherst, MA property can bounce back.
At Better View Landscapes, we rely on our 25-plus years of lawn care and landscaping experience and extensive horticulture knowledge to provide customized lawn renovation programs for our clients in Amherst, Massachusetts, and other area communities. Our Basic, Better, and Best programs include services like aeration, fertilization, overseeding, hydroseeding, grading, soil analysis, and more, depending on the current condition of your lawn and what we need to do to nurse it back to health.
We divide lawns into four categories to determine what kind of care they require:
- The A Lawn: You’re off to a great start! We’ll likely proceed with weed control and five-step fertilization to ensure it stays healthy and lush.
- The B Lawn: It’s not the worst you’ve ever seen, but you probably have some weedy patches and thinning grass. The Basic or Better lawn renovation programs are typically the right choices for B lawns.
- The C Lawn: If you have lots of weeds, color variation throughout your grass, and more than a couple of thin or bare patches, we recommend the Better or Best lawn renovation programs to restore a healthy environment.
- The D Lawn: Amherst, we have a problem. The D lawn is barely a lawn at all; instead, it’s a collection of dirt and weeds needing serious help. The Best lawn renovation program is your best choice in this situation.
We specialize in lawn renovation and ongoing care, as well as landscape design and installation, gutter cleaning, and more so you only have to make one call. Our services are supported by the best training, equipment, and certifications in the industry, and our team is passionate about providing exceptional results for our clients—and we do it right the first time. We’ll assess your property and offer our expert suggestions on the best course of action, giving you all the information you need to make an informed decision.

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!
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.
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.

Your Choice for Lawn Renovation
We’re landscape solution people. Our crew shows up on time and ready to work safely and with precision with the right tools, equipment, and products for the task at hand. Because lawn renovation is only the beginning of a durably beautiful lawn, we’re glad to explain what we’re doing, why it’s important, and how to continue caring for your lawn after it has grown back healthy and strong.
Take a closer look at our Basic, Better, and Best lawn renovation programs. If you’re not sure which one is right for you, contact us. Our expert team can assess your property and let you know how to proceed.
BASIC
This simple plan is a great way to give a B lawn the leg up it needs to really shine. There is no warranty with this plan. It includes:
- Aeration: With a professional core aerator, we extract small pieces of soil to allow water, oxygen, and nutrients to move directly to the roots of the grass. Those extracted pieces break down and become part of your yard again.
- Overseeding: This is done after aeration to give the seeds a chance to sink deeper into the soil, where they can take hold and grow to create that thick lawn you’re looking for.
- Starter Fertilizer: Fresh seeds benefit from extra phosphorus to keep them developing strong, healthy roots. This fertilizer gets your new grass off to a great start.
BETTER
This plan is suited for most C lawns. It includes the aeration, overseeding, and starter fertilizer from the Basic program, as well as:
- Slice Seeding: Also called power seeding, we use a machine to cut small rows into the soil, where we’ll plant seeds. This is highly effective for filling in bare areas.
- Biostimulant: This organic material simply makes nutrients more available to the plants, without actually changing the nutrient content of the soil.
- 45-Day Germination Warranty: Within the 45 days following seeding, if you notice any areas where the grass seeds didn’t germinate, we’ll come back for one visit to touch up those areas.
BEST
When your D lawn needs a complete overhaul from grading, amending soil and hydroseeding, the Best program provides you a whole new start with everything in the Better program, as well as:
- Soil Analysis: Understanding the nutrient levels and pH of your soil allows us to adjust your program to make up for anything the soil is lacking.
- Compost Topdressing: We’ll apply a 1/4″-1/2″ layer of compost to the top of your lawn. Because compost is rich in nutrients, it improves the condition of your soil and gives your grass seeds a healthy environment where they can grow.
- 6-Month Germination Warranty: Within six months following seeding, if you notice any areas where the grass seeds didn’t germinate, we’ll come back for one visit to touch up those areas.
If you’re not sure what your lawn needs, contact us. We’ll help you determine the best course of action for your property.
