The vision you have for your outdoor space is only the beginning. A professional landscape design gives shape to those ideas and outlines a plan for the installation crew. It’s the first step toward transforming your outdoor space to increase the value of your home and enhance the quality of your daily life.

At Better View Landscapes, design is of the utmost importance. We focus on your desires and wishes for a space and create it in 3D before a shovel touches the ground. Our collaborative process ensures your ideas are heard, and you’ll receive feedback and suggestions based on our years of experience with the soil, climate, and building regulations in Florence, Massachusetts. This partnership ensures you enjoy all the landscaping features you want with a full understanding of what it takes to maintain them.

From gardens and shrubs to full outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, stone patios, fire pits, walkways, and more, our designers pull all your favorite features together in a cohesive plan with consideration for your budget, your existing architecture and landscaping, and your outdoor dreams. When the design meets your approval, our installation crew will go to work with respect for your property, attention to safety, and an eye for the details that truly bring a landscape to life.

Whether you’re looking for a small outdoor upgrade, like a new patio or a vibrant garden, or a complete backyard transformation, Better View is here to help. Fill out the contact form or give us a call to get started on your own landscape design.

Your Partner From Start to Finish

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.
