Morano Group

What Morano Group does

Morano Group is a third-generation, family-owned luxury landscape and estate care firm founded in 1952 by Angelo Morano and headquartered in Mamaroneck, New York. The firm provides design, development, and ongoing maintenance services — including masonry, organic tree and shrub care, mature tree installation, interior plantscapes, and seasonal holiday decor — to luxury residential estates in Westchester and Connecticut and to high-end commercial properties in New York City and South Florida. Operations are supported by offices in Mamaroneck, Manhattan (114 East 25th Street), and West Palm Beach, Florida, and by two privately held nurseries — Ridgeway Garden Center (established 2012) and Weaver Gardens — that supply mature plant material for estate installations.

The company employs approximately 29 people, including ISA Certified Arborists and a credentialed design and management team, and operates a white-glove, consultative sales model with custom, multi-year contracts. Named clients include Fouquet's Hotel New York, St. Regis Residences Rye NY, Arlo Midtown, Greenwich Country Day School, North Lex (a Greystar property), and the Bedford Quarry House (a 2022 AIANY Residential Design Award recipient). The business has been featured in Architectural Digest, Vogue, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and on Fox & Friends, and is a member of the National Association of Landscape Professionals. Revenue mechanics are based on integrated design-build project fees plus recurring annual maintenance contracts, with pricing set per engagement rather than through standardized rate cards.

Others

• Monrovia Nursery Company: Premium wholesale nursery supplying distinctive container-grown plants to independent garden centers and landscape professionals. Relevant as a botanical supplier comparable to Morano's in-house nursery operations.
