DiCicco Landscape & Irrigation is a professionally managed
firm with a goal to provide our clients with expert consultation
and quality service, as well as giving our employees an opportunity
to grow within our company and within the green industry, and for
us to remain as a competitive leader in the green industry
Business Background: Established in 1997, focusing on residential
landscape and irrigation installations, we also provided landscape
maintenance for key clients. In 2000 we began referring maintenance
to other firms and directed all of our attention to the design and
installation aspect of our business. Although residential projects
remain our primary focus, we take on certain commercial projects
that fit into our scope of work.
Company Culture: Focusing on a team environment is what is most
important to us. Ten to twelve employees
make up three to four installation crews and an irrigation service
crew. Our key field employees have been with us for several years
and continually attended manufacturer and industry training seminars.
A structured training program that itemizes all field tasks allows
employees to advance as they master each task. We operate with a
management system which reduces wasted time and materials, offers
incentives for working efficiently and tracks all time and material
to each project.
Industry Experience: Founder and president Stephen DiCicco, worked
in the golf
course industry on new and established courses for nine years prior
to founding DiCicco Landscape and Irrigation. He managed the construction
of putting greens, tees, sand bunkers, drainage systems, and major
irrigation additions.
Formal Education: Stephen holds an Associate Degree in Turfgrass
Management from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He attends
many local and national business and industry conferences and seminars
to continue his education on current practices.
