Whether you’re envisioning a luxurious backyard getaway or subtle improvements that make your yard more usable, our team works with you to create an outdoor space that reflects your style and meets your needs year-round.

Our creative process begins with your vision. We take the time to listen, walk your property, and understand how you want to use your space. From there, we build a customized design plan—taking into account your budget, existing architecture, soil conditions, and the Southampton climate. Whether you’re adding a simple patio or creating a multi-feature landscape with gardens, outdoor living areas, and custom walkways, we tailor everything to you.

With over 25 years of experience designing landscapes across the Pioneer Valley, our team brings deep local knowledge and proven expertise to every project. We offer streamlined coordination, handling everything from the initial design to installation and seasonal maintenance with one trusted team—so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors. Throughout the process, we prioritize clear, consistent communication, keeping you informed with updates, scheduling details, and timely responses to your questions. Most importantly, we work in close collaboration with you, ensuring your ideas are fully understood and reflected in a personalized design that enhances both the beauty and functionality of your property.

Trusted by Homeowners Throughout Northampton and the Pioneer Valley

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.

  • 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.

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.

    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.

    Once you have signed your service agreement, maintenance and installation services will be added to the schedule.
