Our story
Built on Service. Driven by Integrity.
After 20+ years in the United States Coast Guard, Troy Manning founded MLC Landscaping with one mission — to build a company people could depend on.
Meet Troy Manning
My name is Troy Manning, and I'm the owner of MLC Landscaping, LLC. After proudly serving our country in the United States Coast Guard for over 20 years, including deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I retired with one mission in mind — to build a company that people could depend on. That mission became MLC Landscaping.
Since founding the company in 2016, we've grown from a small lawn care business into a full-service commercial and residential landscape contractor serving Corpus Christi and the surrounding Coastal Bend.
Reliability
We show up when we say we will, every time. No excuses, no runarounds.
Quality Work
Every project is treated with the same professionalism — from a weekly mow to a full commercial renovation.
Local Expertise
We know South Texas — the soil, the heat, the Gulf Coast conditions. We live here too.
Honest Pricing
Clear, fair estimates upfront. No hidden fees, no surprise charges.
Our Philosophy
At MLC Landscaping, we believe that a handshake still means something. We operate with honesty, accountability, and a commitment to doing the job right the first time. Every project — whether it's a weekly maintenance contract or a large commercial renovation — is treated with the same level of professionalism and attention to detail.
My military background taught me that success comes from preparation, discipline, communication, and taking ownership. Those same principles are built into every part of our company.
More Than Just Lawn Care
Many people know us for our landscape maintenance, but we've intentionally grown into a company that can solve nearly every exterior property need. This allows our customers to work with one trusted contractor instead of coordinating multiple vendors.
Veteran-Owned. Community-Focused.
As a veteran-owned business, we understand the value of commitment, reliability, and earning trust through actions — not promises. Our goal has never been to become the biggest landscaping company in South Texas.
Our goal is to become the company clients trust when they need quality work, honest communication, and a team that stands behind what it does. Many of our commercial clients have trusted us with their properties year after year because they know we'll show up, communicate clearly, and take pride in every project we complete.

Looking Forward
We're continually investing in our people, equipment, and capabilities so we can provide even greater value to our customers. Whether we're maintaining an apartment community, enhancing a commercial property, or transforming a residential landscape, our mission remains the same: deliver exceptional workmanship, treat every property as if it were our own, and build long-term relationships through integrity, professionalism, and dependable service.
Thank you for considering MLC Landscaping. We look forward to earning your trust and becoming your long-term landscape and exterior property maintenance partner.
