Justin Bardwell, Owner of CountryScape Landscape, is a graduate of the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst with a degree in Landscape Contracting.

While at Stockbridge, Justin's studies included Small Property Design & Landscape Drafting, Botany, Soil Sciences, Entomology, Horticultural Plant Pathology and Herbaceous Plant Identification.

At UMass, Justin met fellow student John Buxton, who shared his passion for Landscape Design & Construction. The pair worked together for years, installing hundreds of patios, stone walls, and planting designs, before teaming up to start CountryScape Landscape in 2003.

Justin is a lifelong resident of Shelburne Falls, MA, growing up just a short walk from downtown. He still lives there today with his wife and children.

CountryScape Project Foreman John Buxton attended Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and received a Bachelor's Degree in Design from Bridgewater State College. John also studied post graduate Landscape Architecture, at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at the University of Massachusetts.

Putting his studies to practical use, John spent several years in the Lake Tahoe region of Nevada, building his skills in Landscape Construction while executing designs for a well-known area Landscape Architect.

John returned home to Massachusetts, expanding his knowledge and experience in Landscape Design & Construction, working and studying along side Justin, before starting CountryScape. John now resides in Northfield MA, where he lives with his wife and daughter.

CountryScape serves Franklin County, Hampshire County and Northern Berkshire County, in Western MA. On occasion, we travel beyond these areas for special projects. If you'd like know whether CountryScape services your area, please email Justin.

Landscaping Guarantee

The contract price for your project is Guaranteed! That means no surprises!

At CountryScape, we stress the importance of getting a detailed contract from any contractor you hire. A detailed agreement is the best tool for making your expectations clear, and understanding everything included in the cost. When you hire CountryScape for your project, you will receive a detailed agreement regarding your project, addressing all of your questions.

Hiring a contractor on a 'hand-shake' agreement is risky. Even if your contractor has the best intentions, the end result may still not meet your expectations. For example, what if your landscaper intended to pile soil behind your shed after excavating for a walkway, but you assumed they'd truck it away…you would want to know that! When you work with CountryScape, there are no surprises. Just clear communication, diligent craftsmanship and peace of mind.
