C.W. Nelson Landscaping

Waterscaping includes water garden design, installation of the pond, and shore preparation with appropriate vegetation choices. Water gardens are new to the landscaping array of choices, but they aren't new to us! C.W. Nelson has been serving Southwestern Massachusetts and surrounding areas since 1984. Take some time to browse our web site, learn about the various services we provide, and if you'd like to discuss your project ideas - give us a call anytime. We also invite you to visit our nursery to inspire ideas for your property.

I'm Chuck Nelson, and I welcome you to our Web site. My father began the business some fifty years ago in the Hartford area, and around 1984 we moved to our current site in southwestern Massachusetts. Since then, the nursery and gardens have expanded to cover some seven acres. We remain a family business, with family members involved in answering the phones, scheduling work, and helping me stay organized. We began our business as a landscaping company, and that continues to be our main focus and expertise.

Within the scenic Berkshire countryside, the C.W. Nelson Nursery has been my passion for fifteen years. In 1985, when we started our nursery, it had quite a different look. Today, gardens and pathways replace the woody acres of forest. Stone walls line the driveway, with perennials spilling over the stones, and granite stairs lead to bridges and water gardens that lead to peaceful oases in the grounds. Bauer Pond, once blocked by dense growth, now provides a focal point for the eye, and rustic benches beckon you to stop and rest for a while.

We are a full-service landscape design and nursery based in the Berkshires, and we invite you to consult us when you are thinking of building or renovating your home or considering new plantings. The initial consultation is free. There's no obligation whatsoever for us to visit your site and to do a site review. We especially appreciate the chance to see the site before a house is constructed or renovated, so that proper drainage can be installed. We also can advise you on placement of the house to use the terrain as a natural landscaping element.

The primary focus of our business is landscape design, an art that we have been practicing for many years. Our many years of experience show in the artistry of the gardens, as well as with our satisfied customers. At the nursery, our gardens are an array of perennials, shrubs and trees with an attention to detail and style unlike any other. These gardens can become a reality at your own home. Our specialized equipment and experienced staff will take care of all your landscaping needs.
