About Us Frank Mariani had a vision. As the leader of one of the nation’s largest and most respected landscaping companies, he had come across many like-minded businesses in his travels. These companies shared similar ambitions, values and challenges. He asked himself if it would be possible to create the ultimate industry peer group to help each of these companies become even better at servicing clients, creating opportunities for their associates and building a more secure future for all. Thus, the Mariani Premier Group was born. #J-18808-Ljbffr
