About Marcello Landscaping
About Us
Landscaping Services in RI
A Trusted Steward of Your Property.
More Than a Landscaping Company
Since 1975, Marcello Landscaping has cared for Rhode Island properties with a simple philosophy: our clients should be able to enjoy their property without having to manage everything it takes to keep it beautiful.
That means our responsibility goes far beyond mowing the lawn or completing a scheduled list of landscaping services.
We take responsibility for the landscape as a whole.
When the lawn needs mowing, we mow it. When weeds emerge, we address them. When shrubs need pruning, plants begin to struggle, gardens need attention, or seasonal needs arise, our team takes notice. And when we see an opportunity to improve the property, we bring it to you.
More Than Maintenance.
Complete Property Stewardship.
You shouldn’t have to walk around your property making a list for your landscaper. We’re already paying attention.
For more than 50 years, that approach has allowed us to build lasting relationships with homeowners, businesses, and property managers throughout Rhode Island. Our experienced crews develop a familiarity with the properties they care for—understanding how they change through the seasons, what needs attention, and what it takes to keep them looking their best.
From landscape maintenance, lawn and plant health, and seasonal care to landscape design, planting, property enhancements, and commercial snow management, Marcello provides one trusted team for the ongoing care of your property.
A Higher Standard of Property Care Since 1975.
FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Marcello Landscaping takes a property stewardship approach to landscape care.
That means we do more than arrive, complete a scheduled task, and leave. Our team pays attention to the entire landscape and takes responsibility for its ongoing care.
If weeds emerge, shrubs need pruning, a lawn begins struggling, plants need attention, or seasonal work is approaching, our goal is to recognize those needs without requiring you to identify every issue first.
You shouldn’t have to manage your landscaper. Your landscaper should be managing the landscape.
That philosophy has guided Marcello Landscaping since 1975.

Yes. Marcello provides commercial landscape maintenance and property care for businesses and professionally managed properties.
Our commercial services can include ongoing landscape maintenance, lawn and plant care, seasonal services, landscape improvements, planting, and commercial snow and ice management.
Our goal is for you not to have to.
For clients receiving comprehensive property care, Marcello’s approach is built around proactively paying attention to the landscape and recognizing what needs care.
You should not have to walk the property before every visit identifying weeds, overgrown shrubs, struggling plants, lawn concerns, or seasonal tasks for us.
We expect our team to notice.
When something is part of your established care program, we handle it accordingly. When we identify an additional service, concern, or improvement outside that program, we can bring it to your attention and recommend the appropriate next step.
That is exactly the type of relationship we strive to build.
Rather than having one company mow, another fertilize, another maintain gardens, and someone else handle planting and seasonal work, Marcello can coordinate the ongoing landscape needs of your property through one experienced team.
The exact services included depend on your property and care program, but our philosophy is to look at the landscape as a whole rather than as a collection of unrelated tasks.
Yes. Ongoing landscape maintenance programs can include regular lawn mowing, edging, trimming, weed management, garden bed care, pruning, and other services based on the needs of the property.
But our approach goes beyond completing the same checklist every week.
Every visit is also an opportunity to observe the landscape, recognize changing conditions, and identify what may require attention next.
Landscape maintenance can include lawn mowing, edging, trimming, weed control, garden maintenance, pruning, lawn and plant care, seasonal cleanups, mulching, and other ongoing services.
The appropriate program depends on the property.
Marcello develops landscape care around the individual needs of each property rather than assuming every landscape requires exactly the same services.
Yes. Marcello provides lawn health services that can include fertilization, aeration, overseeding, sod installation, and lawn renovation.
We consider lawn health as part of the overall care of the property. When turf begins thinning or showing signs that additional attention may be needed, our team can identify the concern and recommend an appropriate solution.
Yes.
Core aeration can help reduce soil compaction and create better conditions for air, moisture, and nutrients to reach the root zone.
Overseeding introduces new grass seed into an existing lawn and can help improve turf density and appearance.
Depending on lawn conditions, the two services may be recommended together.
Yes.
Depending on the condition of the lawn and contributing factors, Marcello may recommend aeration, overseeding, sod installation, fertilization, lawn renovation, or other improvements.
Rather than expecting you to determine the solution yourself, our team can evaluate the lawn and recommend an appropriate next step.
Yes. Our team pays attention to the health and condition of shrubs, ornamental plants, gardens, and other plantings as part of caring for the overall landscape.
When plants show signs of stress, decline, overcrowding, or other concerns, we can identify the issue and recommend appropriate care or replacement when necessary.
Yes. Marcello provides shrub and ornamental pruning as part of comprehensive landscape and property care.
Proper pruning helps maintain the appearance, structure, size, and health of landscape plants.
Our proactive approach means we pay attention to how shrubs are growing rather than relying on clients to tell us every time something has become overgrown.
Yes. Marcello provides landscape design and planting services for residential and commercial properties.
Projects can include new planting areas, foundation landscaping, trees and shrubs, perennial gardens, garden renovations, plant replacement, and larger landscape improvements.
Yes.
Many properties do not need an entirely new landscape. Instead, an established landscape may benefit from selective improvements.
Marcello can evaluate existing planting areas, preserve what is working, remove or replace declining or overgrown plants, introduce new plantings, renovate garden beds, and make other improvements that refresh the property.
Yes. Marcello provides professional planting services for trees, shrubs, perennials, ornamental plants, foundation plantings, garden areas, and other landscape improvements.
Plant selections are made with consideration for the property, growing conditions, appearance, mature size, surrounding landscape, and long-term care.
Property enhancements are improvements made beyond routine landscape maintenance to make an existing property healthier, more attractive, or more functional.
Examples can include:
- Renovating an aging garden
- Replacing declining plants
- Adding new trees or shrubs
- Improving foundation plantings
- Renovating a lawn
- Expanding or redesigning planting beds
- Adding perennial gardens
- Improving an entrance
- Refreshing an older landscape
Because our team regularly cares for our clients’ properties, we can often identify these opportunities and bring recommendations to the property owner.
