Lake Bluff, IL – June 30, 2025 — This year, the storied and award winning R.P. Marzilli & Company is marking its 40th anniversary with a year-long celebration of activities and events honoring four decades of excellence in landscape construction and stewardship. Since it was founded in 1985 by Bob Marzilli in Newton, MA, the company has grown to work throughout the region and offer a full range of landscape construction, maintenance and ecological services. The phenomenal growth and success they have realized over the past forty years culminated in 2022 when they joined the Mariani Premier Group.
As part of its year-long 40th anniversary celebration, R.P. Marzilli is publishing 40 Stories of Marzilli—a collection of reflections from clients, partners, and professionals who the company has worked with to create some of New England’s most distinctive and iconic landscapes.
The company also recently hosted a special event at the University of Massachusetts Club in Boston to celebrate the anniversary and bring together the associates, landscape architects, builders, clients and allied partners who have helped shape Marzilli’s success over the past four decades.
Since its establishment, the company has been built on a simple yet powerful philosophy: commit to top-notch quality delivery while building real client connections and striving to improve standards. “I’ve always loved the landscape industry, since I was a child growing up in a family business,” said founder Bob Marzilli. “I’ve been dedicated to the well-being of the landscape industry all my life.”
R.P. Marzilli defined its niche through partnerships with leading landscape architects and residential builders who worked together to realize creative visions and execute them with expert precision and craftsmanship. The company maintains growth across its regional teams serving greater Boston as well as Cape Cod, Rhode Island, and the Berkshires while staying focused on relationships and quality.
In 2023, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society awarded Bob the Silver Medal, which he calls a “validation of a lifelong ambition”, but his true legacy resides in his investments toward the industry’s future. The company has offered a longstanding scholarship at Bob’s alma mater, The Stockbridge School of Agriculture at UMASS Amherst, to enable students to enter the landscape construction field by eliminating financial obstacles and creating career opportunities.
Now operating within the Mariani Premier Group—representing the nation’s top-tier landscape companies—R.P. Marzilli remains committed to its founding principles while building a promising future. Bob reflects that his drive comes from both the team and the profession itself. “It brings me great satisfaction to see our employees develop into leaders who broaden our company’s footprint throughout New England,” he said.
Bryan Christiansen, CEO of the Mariani Premier Group said, “I wish to extend our warmest congratulations to Bob and our team at R.P. Marzilli & Company. We are so proud of all you have accomplished and wish you the best for the next forty years and beyond.”
With heartfelt appreciation, the company acknowledges all who have contributed to its success. “This anniversary serves not only as a retrospective celebration but also as a springboard toward our future goals,” Marzilli concluded.
