Your garden is a focal point of your outdoor space—whether it’s thriving or failing. A well-kept garden adds curb appeal and visual joy to your daily life, but without constant care, weeds can quickly overtake your flowers, pests can chow down on your roses and other beloved plants, and the quality of your soil can diminish to the point where it’s not able to fully support your plant life. Unfortunately, that makes it a focal point, too, but one that makes your home look run-down and adds stress to your life as you wonder when you’re going to find the time to turn it around.

At Better View Landscapes, we offer garden maintenance services to eliminate that hassle for you. Enjoy all the benefits of a lush garden without the hassle of taking care of it yourself. We’ll manage the weeding, planting, trimming, plant removal, fertilization, mulching, seasonal clean-up, and more—whatever your garden needs, we’re here for it. Because every garden is different, we take a personalized approach to your garden maintenance plan to ensure you get the services you need as often as you need them.

We’ve been in the Pioneer Valley for more than 25 years, and our extensive landscaping experience has given us a thorough understanding of the Florence, Massachusetts soil and climate. Our team shows up on time, values clear communication, and is committed to keeping you updated on your soil and plants so you can make the best decisions for your garden. Contact us to learn more about a customized garden maintenance program or any of our other landscaping services.

We’re here to help you grow your garden, with the expert advice you need to take care of your plants and hardscaping features over the long term.

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!

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.

A Simple Process for Exceptional Landscaping

At Better View Landscapes, we strive for clarity and transparency. All of our contracts are clearly outlined, with no hidden fees. We tailor your service plan to meet the particular needs of your property, so you can rest assured that your landscaping will look its best year-round. Getting started is simple:

  • Request a Quote

    Contact our office using this online form or call the office directly. We will ask for details about your property, the kind of services you require, and your budget requirements. If you fill out our form, you can expect a call from our representatives within one business day.

  • 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. For design projects and more complex landscaping contracts, we will visit your property to gather information. If you require basic maintenance services, we will conduct an easy virtual meeting via Zoom to clarify the details before preparing your proposal.

  • Estimate

    For our maintenance services, we will prepare a proposal within 3 business days of our first meeting and send it to you for review and approval. Most initial design proposals will be ready within one business day of our initial meeting. Following this design concept meeting, we will prepare your agreement and pricing as discussed and send it to you for approval.

  • Your Custom Plan

    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.

  • Agreement & Work Begins

    Once you have signed your service agreement, maintenance and installation services will be added to the schedule. You will receive regular communication from our team to ensure that any questions and concerns are addressed quickly. Our team will be available for any questions you may have after each maintenance service visit, and a comprehensive walk-through will be conducted with you upon completion of your installation project.

  • Follow-up Care

    For maintenance contracts, you can expect monthly follow-ups to ensure your satisfaction. For installation services, we will reach out to you after the work is complete to provide follow-up care recommendations and service.
