OUR HISTORY
Bob Marzilli’s passion for building landscapes began at a very young age working with his grandfather, father, and uncles in their family’s landscaping maintenance business. Bob learned from his family the values of trusted relationships, customer service and quality workmanship. He worked his way through college at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture and the University of Massachusetts Amherst earning degrees in Landscape Construction and Landscape Architecture. The education and experience at UMass Amherst revealed the great potential of the landscape industry and Bob’s dream of developing the most respected landscape construction company in New England was born. In 1985, Bob struck out on his own with a handwritten list of goals (we still have the note), one truck, one trailer, one skidsteer and the support of his wife, Christine.
OUR OUTREACH
Our company is a strong supporter of education and the landscape industry. We have established the R. P. Marzilli & Company Scholarship, administered through the National Association of Landscape Professionals Foundation. Each year this scholarship provides financial assistance to promising students enrolled in landscape contracting and/or horticultural programs at two-year or four-year colleges and universities hoping to pursue an education and future in the landscape industry.
