Company Background While still a student, Larry became a licensed Landscape Contractor in 1974, and formed Holmes Landscape Company. For the next few years he did design build work for residential homeowners that involved mostly landscaping and irrigation. Realizing that concrete work, retaining walls and hardscape items were as essential to large-scale projects as landscaping and irrigation, Larry obtained his General Builders License in 1978. Over the next few years Holmes Landscape Company expanded its business to include large custom houses and commercial projects. Major projects during this period included: the Cassidy Street Stairs for the City of Oceanside, Woodland Park for the City of San Marcos, picnic shelters for the City of San Diego School System, landscape irrigation for the Navy at 32nd Street, and the Point Loma street landscape renovation project for the Navy. In 1982, Holmes Landscape Company expanded its business once again to include commercial landscape maintenance. The Burroughs Corporation in Carlsbad was among the company's first commercial business customers, and Peacock Meadows in Oceanside its first Homeowner Association client. Both remain Holmes Landscape Company customers to this day. In 1985, Mira Costa College invited Larry to return as a teacher. Today, he continues to teach 1 to 2 landscape management and landscape construction courses a year at his alma mater, and attributes his teaching career to helping him keep on top of his field. During the company's first five years, Larry drove the one truck and was both owner and foreman on jobs. As the business expanded and grew, a second and a third truck were added, and more employees hired. Today, Holmes Landscape Company operates 15 trucks and has more than 45 employees.
The success of Holmes Landscape Company has been attributed to the personal integrity and hard work of Larry Holmes, and to the many bright and energetic people that work for him. With a work philosophy based on attention to detail, innovation, and customer service, Holmes Landscape Company has grown to become one of San Diego County's leading landscape maintenance companies.
