Founded by Vito Mariani, who came to America from Italy in 1954, Mariani Landscape began modestly, providing garden maintenance services along Chicago’s North Shore. Led by his son Frank Mariani starting in 1973, Mariani expanded into the landscape architecture arena in the 1970s augmented by our own dedicated construction team.
