Why Living Earth?
Owner-Operated, and directly involved.
Keith Hamm brings approximately 30 years of applied experience across landscape construction, water features, drainage, irrigation, carpentry, hardscape, site work, planting, and property improvement.
The goal is not high-volume production. It is direct involvement, practical judgment, clear communication, and work that makes sense for the property.
Teaching & Practical Guidance
Sharing practical knowledge has long been part of Living Earth.
During the years Keith operated a retail nursery and pond-supply business, he regularly helped property owners understand systems, choose appropriate materials and equipment, and complete portions of projects themselves. That included years of free workshops and demonstrations on ponds, water management, rain catchment, planting, and related outdoor systems.
The goal was not simply to sell a product. It was to help people understand what they were building, avoid common mistakes, and know when professional involvement would make a meaningful difference.
That same approach continues today through consultation, DIY guidance, educational content, and the growing Living Earth knowledge library.
Client Testimonials
“Keith was a rare find! A skilled craftsman with a great work ethic and a genuinely nice guy. We had him complete several landscaping projects for us at both our home in Trinidad and our home in Santa Rosa. All were completed quickly and with skilled work. Hire Keith, you will not be disappointed!”
“Living Earth landscaped my backyard to include an English perennial garden and pond with an almost invisible fence to keep the deer out. Keith is inventive with great customer care.”
“Keith was super easy to work with, communicated well and was on time and on the money. Fence turned out great. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
Living Earth Portal
Your Living Earth Portal
The Living Earth Client Portal is built so project information, questions, communication, photos, documents, and history have a dependable home. Instead of important details being scattered across texts, email threads, invoices, photos, and memory, the Portal keeps the working relationship organized around you and your property.
Good contractor relationships should become easier to manage over time, not harder. The Portal is designed to preserve the details, communication, and continuity that can otherwise disappear into the cracks between conversations and projects.
