Visits with Santa and sending letters to the North Pole through the magical mailbox Meeting adorable alpaca “reindeer” Complimentary hot cocoa, hot apple cider and s’mores by the bonfire For a multigenerational company with a legacy of family pride and a commitment to perfection, it’s no surprise that many of Mariani’s clients have been with them for generations.

The company’s story began in 1958 when Vito Mariani, an immigrant from Italy, bought a second-hand truck and began serving Chicago’s North Shore with impeccable landscaping services. From a young age, Vito’s son, Frank, was active in the business. Frank later took over, growing Mariani Landscape into a premier company in greater Chicago and a recognized leader nationwide.

As the company has grown, its core values have remained the same: family comes first, and Mariani is committed to taking care of yours. This mission is put into action every day, on every project.

Mariani believes in connecting people with nature in a way that inspires and transports them. This is how they aim to improve the world—one garden at a time.

Mariani’s Holiday Shoppe is the perfect destination to get into the holiday spirit and create lasting memories with your family.
