Your lawn is like a welcome mat for your family and your visitors. When it’s lush and green, it feels good to come home. Bare patches, thin growth, or brown spots are disheartening and stress-inducing, because you have to figure out when you’re going to find time to correct the issues.

Instead of trying to solve these problems on your own, talk to us. At Better View Landscapes, we have 27 years of lawn care and landscaping experience in South Hadley, Massachusetts and other Pioneer Valley communities. We know the soil and the climate, and we’ve customized hundreds of lawn fertilization programs to address the most pressing lawn concerns—and help you take advantage of all the functional benefits a healthy lawn provides.

We offer three main lawn fertilization programs, including a 5-step application program for precise treatments throughout the season to combat crabgrass and other broadleaf weeds, and an organic program that uses an organically-based fertilizer for a more natural approach to soil health. Plans start as low as $395, so choose the one that works for you and customize it to suit the unique needs of your property.

At Better View, we pride ourselves on using the highest-quality equipment and materials and taking a personalized approach to each lawn and landscaping project to ensure your complete satisfaction with our work. Contact us anytime—our responsive team is ready to answer your questions. Sign up for your lawn fertilization program before April 1 to enjoy a 10% savings.

Why You Need Lawn Fertilization

Your grass faces its share of challenges, and nutrient-poor soil is the source of many of them. Without proper nutrition, your grass won’t be dense or develop a solid root system. It’s more susceptible to pests, weeds, and disease, and the soil isn’t held firmly in place.

Lawn fertilization delivers nutrients to the soil, and the resulting healthy grass offers many benefits:

  • A strong root system that holds the soil in place, preventing erosion and reducing the dirt tracked into your home
  • A lush, carpet-like lawn
  • Healthy grass that naturally resists pests
  • Thick growth that doesn’t leave room for weed infestations
  • Improved soil quality over time to provide a solid foundation for any future landscaping project
  • A soft place to work, play, or relax outside
  • A healthy yard that requires less of your time and energy

Below you will find pricing for our 3 different fertilizing options. These plans are built utilizing high-grade fertilizers, advice from industry experts, along with university extension service publications. We adjust our programs year to year (and even application to application) to match the current needs of lawns in our growing region.

These Plans do a great job of maintaining the health of your lawn.

What Clients Say About Working With Us

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.

How We Approach Your Landscaping Project

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.
