Enjoy Hassle-Free Landscape Maintenance and Customized Solutions

Don’t settle for a sub-par landscape. Insist on beauty, function, and durability for the sake of your family, employees, visitors, and the neighborhood at large. With customized landscape maintenance programs and annual assessments, your outdoor space will retain that “new landscape” vibe—and you can spend your time enjoying your property instead of working on it. 

Maintaining your landscape is a matter of safety and property protection as well as aesthetics. At Better View Landscapes, we call upon our years of experience in the Pioneer Valley to provide proactive solutions, addressing small landscaping issues before they become big (and expensive) problems. We’ll make recommendations based on what’s best for your plants, soil, and hardscapes and guide you toward the services that match your budget and your preferences.

Fine Gardening, Plant Care, Pruning, and More to Keep Your Landscape at Its Best

Keep your landscape up to standard with a high level of care, including annual assessments and recommendations. With these annual reviews, we can help you prioritize property care and upgrades, and we incorporate your feedback to create custom maintenance solutions. Simply enjoy your outdoor space without worrying about it. 

Work closely with our highly experienced head gardener. Your landscape will always get the personalized attention it needs to thrive. Our entire team is trained thoroughly to ensure they know everything they need to do their jobs well—including what is and isn’t a weed. If they have questions, they’re empowered to speak with the head gardener for clarification before they proceed. 

We believe in proactive solutions—we spot problems before they start to help you protect your property and landscaping investment. Our dedicated horticulturist and maintenance manager can diagnose problems in your landscape, and we can outline a plan for resolution. 

We look forward to learning more about your landscape in Northampton, Massachusetts, or anywhere in the Pioneer Valley and helping you design a landscape maintenance plan that fits your property needs. Fill out our contact form today.

Landscaping maintenance plans are customizable to suit your property. Our Basic Care Plan starts at $895 per year and includes spring and fall clean-up and gutter cleaning with a variety of optional add-ons. For more services, consider the Standard Care Plan, starting at $2,995 per year, or the Premium Care Plan, starting at $4,495 per year. We also have Lawn Care and Lawn Fertilization packages available. Visit our pricing page to see all the options in detail, and contact us if you have any questions. 

How Do I Get Started on a Landscape Maintenance Plan?

Fill out the contact form or give us a call. We’ll be in touch before the end of the business day to learn more about your landscape and schedule a site visit.

After we visit your site or discuss your property over the phone, we can give you a better idea of what your landscape requires and how we can help. During our Landscape Care Assessment, we’ll identify plant health problems, soil issues, pest issues, drainage and erosion concerns, and more, and we’ll outline the information so you can make informed choices for your property. If you accept the detailed proposal, you’ll fill out a Preferences Sheet to list your specific expectations for pruning, and more, and we’ll schedule a Property Review to align those preferences with a plan of action. Then work will begin! If anything arises that requires your attention, we’ll let you know. Otherwise, you can rest assured your property is being taken care of according to your standards.

What Your Neighbors Think About Their Greener, Cleaner Lawns

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.

“The Better View Process”

Our Approach is Designed to Be Transparent, Efficient, and Hassle-Free

  • 1

    Site visit with a designer

    Our first meeting will involve a visit to your property by one of our designers. This allows us to see the space we’ll be working with and get a sense of your vision and goals for the project.

  • 2

    Design Proposal

    After the site visit, we’ll develop a design proposal that outlines the scope of the work and objectives for the design. This proposal will be shared with you for review and feedback.

  • 3

    Initial Rendering and Review

    We’ll create an initial rendering of the design and schedule a virtual meeting with you to review it. During this meeting, our designer will share their screen and make live edits to the design, ensuring that it meets your expectations.

  • 4

    Revision Phase

    Based on the feedback from the initial rendering meeting, we’ll work with you to make any necessary revisions to the design. This process may involve multiple rounds of revisions, with up to three larger changes incorporated into the design.

  • 5

    Proposal Phase

    After you’re satisfied with the design, we’ll create a detailed proposal for the project, which will include an estimate of the costs and a detailed timeline for the work.

  • 6

    Contract Phase

    Once you’ve reviewed the proposal, we’ll send you a contract for the project. Once this is signed and returned, we’ll schedule a start date for the project.

  • 7

    Scheduling and Starting the Project

    After receiving the signed contract and deposit, we’ll order the necessary materials and provide a tentative installation date. With everything in place, we’ll begin the work of bringing your vision to life.
