If your property in Hadley, Massachusetts could use more functionality, privacy, or visual appeal, our landscape design services are the first step in creating an outdoor space that meets your needs. At Better View Landscapes, we specialize in custom-designed landscapes that blend natural beauty with lasting structure. Whether you’re dreaming of a shaded patio to entertain guests, a garden that brings year-round interest, or practical updates to your yard’s drainage and layout, our experienced team is here to help.

We begin every project by listening. Your goals, preferences, and budget shape the design from day one. Then, we use our deep local knowledge, along with over 25 years of experience in the Pioneer Valley, to craft solutions that are beautiful, functional, and built to endure the changing New England seasons.

Our landscape designs make the most of every square foot. From multi-level patios and pergolas to curated plantings and lighting, we bring your outdoor space to life with features that enhance the way you live. Our collaborative approach, clear communication, and fully coordinated service ensure that your project moves forward smoothly and that you always know what’s happening next.

Hadley is known for having some of the most fertile soils in the world, making it an ideal place to grow vibrant, thriving landscapes. Whether we’re designing for a newly built home or refreshing the yard of a charming older property, we adapt our plans to suit the unique character of each space. Nestled between the energy of student-filled Amherst and Northampton, Hadley offers a quieter, more rural setting just off the main roads, complete with open farmland and stunning views. Our landscape designs are crafted to highlight those natural surroundings while providing function and curb appeal that fit your lifestyle.

For homeowners who want lasting beauty without the hassle, we also offer ongoing landscape maintenance. That means the outdoor space we install can be cared for by the same team who brought it to life, ensuring it stays as polished, healthy, and beautiful as the day it was completed, if not better.

Real Outdoor Transformations

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.
