Your landscape is more than a backdrop, it’s part of your daily life. At Better View Landscapes, we offer custom landscape design in Belchertown, Massachusetts that’s rooted in how you live, what you value, and how you want to use your outdoor space. Whether you’re picturing a welcoming patio for family gatherings, a quiet path through your garden, or a full redesign to address slope or drainage, we bring decades of experience and local insight to every project.

From the start, we collaborate closely with you, using your ideas as the foundation for a landscape that’s not only beautiful but highly functional. Our team has over 25 years of experience working across the Pioneer Valley, and we use that local knowledge to design with Belchertown’s climate, soil, and seasonal conditions in mind.

To keep your project running smoothly, we manage every detail in-house, from initial design to material selection, scheduling, and final installation. There’s no need to juggle multiple contractors or track down updates. After your project is complete, Better View Landscapes can continue to care for your property, maintaining it to the same high standard as when it was first installed. You’ll stay informed throughout the process, with clear communication at every step and a team that’s responsive to your questions and timeline.

If you’re ready for a landscape that adds value, comfort, and ease to your everyday life, we’d love to help. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and begin designing a space that fits your home and your routine.

 

What Clients Say About Working With Us

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.

  • On-Site or Virtual Meeting

    Once we have determined that your project is a good fit, we will set up an on-site visit or virtual meeting, depending on your project.

    Once we have completed contract discussions, you can review and sign your design plan or care plan. We will request your installation deposit before scheduling work, and your design fee must be paid prior to beginning design work. Most initial design renderings will be ready within ten business days after your design proposal has been accepted, with a follow-up meeting(s) upon completion of the initial design plan. For landscape maintenance plans, we will provide you with an invoice in the week following each service visit, and payment will be charged against the card you have on file.
