Who We Are

After leaving his studies at the University of Michigan in the early 1980’s, Keith moved to the Central Coast and immediately got involved in the landscape industry. In 1989 he was licensed by CSLB and started K.D. Janni Landscaping. He is also licensed by the Department of Pesticide Regulations. Over the last 33 years Keith’s dedication and hard work has contributed to the growth and success of his business. He remains involved in the day to day operations of the business and his philosophy comes from the attitude that he would never ask any employee to do anything that he would not be willing to do himself. He also believes the work we perform should be done like we were doing it for ourselves.
