MISSION
Your landscape reflects the way you live and work and should be an extension of your home or business. Show us your favorite cut flower, tell us about a sculpture that inspires you or a stone that speaks to you. We seek to create beautiful, eclectic outdoor living spaces by drawing from your imagination (and ours) to create a master plan that fits your needs. OUR COMPANY Beyond Landscape Contracting, LLC is a fully insured landscape design, construction and maintenance company based in Northampton, MA. In 2004, Larry Brotherton and David O'Neil met while working as foremen at a Western Massachusetts landscape company. The two quickly recognized a synergy in terms of creativity and knowledge. |
Massachusetts native David O'Neil first realized his love of landscaping when he got a job planting lilacs at the age of 13. He came to the Valley in 1998 to attend the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at the University of Massachusetts.
A Massachusetts Certified Horticulturist, David has a vast knowledge of plants, trees and shrubs and loves working with clients to design unique and interesting plant lists that meet their needs.
Before launching Beyond Landscape Contracting with Larry in 2007, David worked in the green industry as a grower and a greenhouse manager, and then as a foreman at a well-established landscape company.
David lives in Gill and enjoys spending his free time hiking, biking and hanging out with his daughter.
LAWRENCE BROTHERTON
Lawrence Brotherton grew up in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. As a boy working in his family's custom drapery and upholstery shop, Larry fell in love with colors and textures and their ability to transform any space. After graduating from vocational high school with a focus in carpentry, he traveled the East Coast with a company that specialized in restoring hotels.
In 2000, Larry moved to the Pioneer Valley and worked with a well-established landscape company as a way to pay his college tuition, soon becoming a foreman. After studying Environmental Science, he realized that he could combine his love of the outdoors with his need to create and have a fulfilling and satisfying career.
Larry is ICPI certified, and specializes in dry-lay Goshen stone work — building structures that are not only designed to please the eye, but also to withstand the test of time. Larry lives in Northampton. He enjoys fishing and hiking in his spare time.
