Studio
A small firm with a complete bench.
TerraTech was built around a simple idea — that the gap between a landscape designer and a construction crew is where most projects lose their way. We closed the gap by becoming both.

Practice
We don't sell design and execute construction. We sell finished land.
The conventional model splits a property between a designer who hands off a sheaf of drawings and a contractor who interprets them. That's where vision gets lost, where change orders multiply, where the homeowner becomes the unwilling project manager.
TerraTech is built differently. The firm that drafts the plan grades the site, sets the stone, and walks the property the day it's complete. One contract. One accountable principal. One number you sign.
Principles
Four things we hold to.
01
Integrated by design.
A single firm carries the project from sketch to site. No subcontracted designers, no contractors improvising on the day. One team, one set of drawings, one accountable principal.
02
Honest pricing.
You get a fixed price after we finish the design phase, not a moving target. The number you sign is the number you pay.
03
Modern tools, traditional standards.
Drone survey and robotic total stations on the front end, hand-finished stonework on the back end. Technology where it earns its keep, craft where it shows.
04
Discipline forged in service.
Veteran-owned and owner-operated. Show up on time, do what you said you would, leave the site cleaner than you found it.
Principal
Owner-operator. The person who quotes the job runs the job.
James Holmes founded TerraTech to build the firm he wished existed when he started looking for one. He's the operator on the iron, the principal on the plans, and the name on the contract. When you call, you call him.
