Florence, Massachusetts, carved out a place for itself within the silk industry in the early 1800s. What started with a small silkworm farm helped put this little village on the map, and over the years it played home to numerous notable residents along with four crime-fighting turtles (turtles in a half shell). 

With friends and family throughout the Pioneer Valley, we are dedicated to enhancing our community one property at a time. For more than two decades, Better View Landscapes has been a cornerstone for landscape services for customers in Florence and the surrounding areas. We know the area and we know your home or property has its own unique aesthetic so we strive to enrich the appeal and highlight the existing beauty.

Today, Florence residents enjoy an ideal location with there being a park or recreation area seemingly around the corner, not to mention the Look Memorial Park with all the music and events they host. Outdoor enthusiasts have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beauty of the four seasons, and homeowners bring that beauty home by customizing their properties to allow them to spend more quality time outside. From spacious lawns and lush flower beds to custom-built patios and outdoor kitchens, local front and backyards are as unique as the families who enjoy them.

For more than 25 years, the team at Better View Landscapes has been making it easier for home and business owners in Florence, Massachusetts, to create and maintain exceptional outdoor spaces with fine features and healthy plants. As landscape solution people and outdoor living specialists, we provide innovative landscape design, fine craftsmanship, and thorough landscape maintenance services, including lawn renovation, lawn mowing, fertilization, weed control, garden maintenance, gutter cleaning, and snow removal to keep your property at its best throughout the year. Our knowledgeable, highly-trained team has years of experience in Florence and throughout the Pioneer Valley, and we understand the soil, climate, and unique landscaping challenges in this region.

Gutter cleaning is an efficient, cost-effective way to prevent a lot of headache and hassle. This should be done at least twice a year, though your gutters may require more frequent cleanings if you tend to get more build-up of leaves and other debris throughout the year.

At Better View Landscapes we offer residential and commercial snow plowing, roof ice and snow removal & plowing, salting and de-icing, snow blowing, and more. We put our dedicated team and top-of-the-line equipment to work all season long to ensure your driveway and sidewalks are clear, safe, and usable.

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.

    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.
