Our Story
Celebrating 70 Years of Impullitti Landscaping
The landscaping roots run deep in the Impullitti family. In 1917, Wayne's maternal grandfather opened and ran a successful landscaping company, Leo Lucarelli Landscaping, which had locations in Beachwood, University Heights, and Solon.
Wayne's father Clifford Impullitti, Sr. had apprenticed with Leo since 1947 and learned the skills of the trade before establishing his own company in 1952, Impullitti Landscaping and Sons. The company operated out of the Impullitti home in Highland Heights until 1990. Cliff was committed to enhancing the professionalism of the landscaping industry and was one of the first board members of the Ohio Landscape Association.
The company was growing and moved for the first time to a 10,000 sq ft. facility on Beidler Road in Willoughby.
In 5 short years, the company needed to expand once again and relocated to a 15,000 sq. ft. facility in Bainbridge Township on 3.5 acres of land.
On the 50th Anniversary of the company, Wayne is pictured with one of the iconic shiny red Impullitti trucks, replicating the photo of his dad with his first truck.
The business has always been a family affair. Wayne's sister Diane began working for the company in her parent's home at the age of 14 and continued managing the office until 2007. Treating employees like family has been a hallmark of the company — celebrating years of loyal service and the contributions of employees who have helped the company achieve statewide and national accolades.
The continued success of the company led to yet another expansion. The company moved to a 21,000 sq. ft. and 9 acre property in Burton. Wayne and his wife Katie are proudly pictured at the entrance of the new facility. Katie has been involved in many facets of the business throughout the years and was instrumental in creating the office organization.
For the 60th Anniversary of the company, Wayne once again paid homage to his father with a photo of him and the shiny red truck! Not to be left out, Wayne's wife and kids also honored the 60th anniversary with a photo of their own with the truck.
The family tradition continues as Wayne's sons Michael and Tommy joined the family business in 2013 and 2014 respectively. They represent the third generation of the Impullitti Landscaping legacy and are fully dedicated to the future of the company while preserving the strong traditions, craftsmanship, and quality of the Impullitti Landscaping reputation.
As the company continued to expand its reach over seven counties covering most of the Northeast Ohio area, it was time to open a second location on the west side of Cleveland. In 2014, the company opened a 7,000 sq. ft. facility on 1.5 acres in Brooklyn Heights.
The future is bright for this family business proudly serving all of Northeast Ohio for the past 70 years! Michael and Tommy have been raised in the landscaping business and are committed to upholding the company's mission and core values. At Impullitti Landscaping, we design, build and maintain beautiful landscapes that showcase our craftsmanship while providing an exceptional client experience and creating spaces for all to enjoy the view!
