Antoni Capizzi & Co. was established in 1939 as a residential landscaping and maintenance service. The business was operated out of Antoni Capizzi's home, two-car garage and one-acre lot in Newton, Massachusetts.
Nearly 70 years ago, following the untimely death of Antoni, his son Orlando (Ollie) took over the business at the age of 22, after graduating from the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, class of '51.
In 1962, the company incorporated, and the name was changed to Capizzi & Co., Inc. Too large for its Newton location in 1969, the company purchased four commercial acres in Acton, Massachusetts, and a new office building and two garages were built. The firm continued to grow, providing landscape design, construction and installation. The company also began offering irrigation installation and maintenance services in the late 70's.
Ollie's son, Anthony, now President and Chief Executive Officer, joined the firm in 1981. "Tony," also a graduate of Stockbridge, class of '81, oversees the other main focus of the corporation; large tree moving and planting. With their 70" and 90" tree spades and the gooseneck tree mover, Capizzi is capable of transporting trees throughout New England.
After heading up the company successfully for 68 years, Ollie passed away in the spring of 2018 at the age of 89. Tony now runs the company that he and his dad worked together to build into a full-service landscape construction firm. With a well established reputation for high quality work, Capizzi & Co., Inc. continues to be the right choice for all of your landscaping needs.
