Ciminelli's Landscape Services

What Ciminelli's Landscape Services does

Ciminelli's Landscape Services, Inc. is a privately held, single-location landscaping services company founded in May 1991 by Matt Ciminelli in Bowie, Maryland, serving the Annapolis metropolitan area. The firm delivers landscape construction, hardscaping, and ongoing maintenance services, including patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, pool decks, water features, drainage solutions, and landscape lighting. Its technical specialization is eco-landscaping and environmental design, encompassing rain gardens, pervious paver systems, green roofs and walls, and native plantings intended for stormwater management and Chesapeake Bay protection. Notable technical credentials include the inaugural Green Roof Professional accreditation (held by the founder), LiveRoof installer status, and certifications from Belgard, the Interlocking Concrete Paver Institute, and the National Concrete Masonry Association.

The company earns revenue through two streams: project-based landscape construction (hardscaping, patios, driveways, outdoor living spaces, and eco-infrastructure installations, priced per quote) and recurring landscape maintenance contracts (lawn mowing, mulching, pruning, leaf removal, and seasonal services). The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on phone inquiries, a website contact form, free estimates, and word-of-mouth referrals from an existing residential, HOA, municipal, and corporate client base in the Annapolis/Bowie region. Marketing is conducted through the company website, Facebook, and direct outreach, with no third-party reseller or e-commerce channels. An affiliate relationship with Ecoasis Garden Center, operated at the same headquarters address, extends the offering into retail plant and garden supply sales and creates a soft cross-referral ecosystem.
