Vito’s Lawn Care & Landscaping – Hazleton, PA
Frank C. Vito began his journey in the industry at a young age—starting in the fourth grade by blowing off properties after the mowing crew finished. Over the years, he worked his way up to crew leader and remained in the field throughout college. After earning an undergraduate degree, he pursued a law degree focused on business, contracts, and finance, eventually working as a corporate attorney while continuing to support the company behind the scenes.
In the winter of this past year, he returned full-time as President. “There’s no better place to start your morning than outdoors,” says Frank. “I love creating spaces that foster connection and harmony with nature.”
Over 40 years in business
The company was founded in 1981 by Frank’s father, who left a career in accounting to pursue a more hands-on path. He was soon joined by his brother, and together they built the business from the ground up. Today, five family members hold key leadership roles. What began as a lawn care and maintenance company has grown significantly over the past decade, expanding its landscape design/build division and snow and ice management services.
Comprehensive Services Rooted in Quality
Full-Service Lawn Care and Property Maintenance
Vito’s Lawn Care & Landscaping offers a full suite of landscape solutions, including weekly mowing, turf fertilization, overseeding, landscape design and installation, hardscaping, and snow and ice management. “Our goal is to be a one-stop partner for our clients’ outdoor space needs,” says Frank.
What sets them apart? A combination of high technical standards and a strong service ethos. “We hire for attitude, train for skill, and provide competitive pay to attract top-tier talent,” he explains. “Our technicians are trained not just in the field, but in how to communicate and represent the brand. We view every client as a partner, and our proactive maintenance program helps identify issues before they become problems, saving clients time and money.”
Community at the Core
Giving back is a cornerstone of the company’s culture
They sponsor youth sports teams, support local events, and partner with community organizations to beautify public spaces. “Our team regularly volunteers, and we take pride in contributing to the places we live and work,” says Frank.
One story that stands out happened during a major snowstorm last winter. A crew worked around the clock to ensure a local healthcare facility remained accessible. “They coordinated with the client in real-time and pre-treated based on our weather tracking systems. The client later told us their emergency services never skipped a beat. That kind of impact is exactly why we do what we do.”
Why NEPA?
Homegrown
“NEPA is home—it’s where our story started and where our roots run deep,” says Frank, “The community has supported us since day one, and we’re committed to investing back into the region. Plus, the diverse climate and terrain here allow us to showcase the full breadth of our landscape expertise, from maintenance to snow and ice management.”
