Rooted in Expertise

At Gulfscapes LLC, we are rooted in expertise and local knowledge, providing professional landscaping and garden design for homeowners in La Marque, Texas City, and surrounding Zone 9b areas.

Founded by Miguel Valencia, a degreed horticulturist from Stephen F. Austin State University with hands-on experience maintaining Houston Astros fields (2023–2025), Gulfscapes brings a higher level of planning, care, and attention to detail to residential landscapes.

We specialize in custom landscape design and planning, hardscaping, pruning and plant care, and seasonal gardens, all tailored to thrive in the unique Gulf Coast climate.

By combining science-based horticultural knowledge with creative, homeowner-focused design, we transform outdoor spaces into landscapes that are healthy, functional, and visually refined year-round—without overcomplicating maintenance for homeowners.

Experience Matters

Work & Education

With the Houston Astros, I maintained precision-level turf, landscaping, and outdoor spaces for a Major League Baseball team. This experience taught me:

Attention to Detail: Every detail on the field required careful planning and precision — a standard I bring to every residential project.
Plant Health & Soil Management: Understanding how soil, irrigation, and plant nutrition interact to create healthy, thriving landscapes.
Seasonal Planning & Maintenance: Applying long-term strategies to ensure year-round visual appeal and sustainability.
Project Execution Under High Standards: Managing multiple tasks efficiently while maintaining quality under strict timelines.

At Gulfscapes LLC, I bring the same professional care and precision from MLB groundskeeping to your home garden and landscape. While your yard won’t be a professional ballpark, it will benefit from high-detail planning, expert installation, and long-term plant health strategies.
