The year was 1825. Thomas Trotter was a silversmith. In his exclusive shop in Charlotte on "The Square", he plied the beautiful metal into handsome, enduring pieces that became family heirlooms and museum treasures. In fact, you can still admire Trotter Silver in the North Carolina Museum of History. You'll notice that the designs are contemporary, yet timeless. The craftsmanship exquisite. Just like Trotter homes.

William Trotter founded Trotter builders three generations later in 1959. And by then the family's dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and beauty had only grown stronger.

Before William Trotter laid a brick for the foundation of the first Trotter home, he was active in environmental causes and dedicated to the preservation of this country's natural beauty. Today, Trotter Builders is renowned for its preservation techniques and beautiful neighborhoods with towering trees and natural areas. Unlike other builders who bulldoze their lots to save time and money, Trotter plans entire neighborhoods around trees. Trotter will move the house on the lot before they remove a single magnificent tree.

"We take a great deal of care in placing the homes on the site. Each field superintendent can adjust the placement of a home if he feels it will save a spectacular tree or enhance the beauty of the home."
                                   —William Trotter

Natural drainage patterns work best, so Trotter preserves them by minimizing earth movement and installing erosion fencing on every site. Trotter also employs one of the area's foremost landscape architects. He fashions a design solution to enhance the beauty of the homes, making each neighborhood a true work of art.
