What Our Clients Are Saying
Tracy H.
We had a very big project, including tree removal, removal of large pavers, building of a retaining wall, stairs from the house to the lake front, and landscaping. We hired Terrafirma and we are so glad we did.
They completed the work quickly, professionally, within the budget (despite a few surprises), and within the expected time frame. They met with us several times throughout the project to answer questions and provide updates. They suggested adding lighting, which we added near the stairs. The lights look awesome at night, especially from the lake! Our project is a work of art! Boats that are cruising by stop at our house to give compliments on the landscape. Thank you, Terrafirma, for adding such beautiful outdoor living space to our waterfront!
Pat R.
Terrafirma just completed a 2nd major residential landscaping project in the last 5 years for us. They have strong capabilities in hardscaping, lighting, irrigation and plants/lawns. Excellent knowledge in a variety of areas is important when we need to make modifications during the project.
Wonderful people throughout the company (in this project in particular, John McBride and Donnie were invaluable to me – professional and patient with my wife and me). Hope that I don’t have another landscaping project for a long time. But if I did, more than likely Terrafirma would be my partner in it for a 3rd time!
Yong C.
Working with John at Terrafirma to build our deck, stairs, and patio was an amazingly smooth experience. Compared to other contractors we considered, John was extremely easy to talk to, understanding, and considerate. His service and responsiveness were always on point, and we felt very comfortable with every step — the build itself was quick and completed in just a week, faster than we could’ve ever imagined.

The carpenter that John has worked with for years was also a delight and would immediately reach out to them for another project!!
