Meet the Head Behind Yard Dog Landscapes!
Hey East Texas! I’m Miller Maines, owner of Yard Dog Landscapes. I’m proud to run a small, locally owned landscaping company right here in East Texas. Most days you’ll see me on site, along with a couple of great guys who help keep our projects running smoothly.
You’ve probably seen us around: in our trucks, on job sites, or picking out plants at the local nurseries. But I wanted to take a moment to personally introduce myself.
I was born and raised in White Oak, driven by curiosity, creativity, and a serious work ethic. From fixing up motorcycles to building a supplement company, I’ve always loved figuring out how things work (any other How It’s Made fans out there?).
At 14, my Dad threw me on a mower one day and told me to get after it. Very quickly, I had a lot of resentment toward yard work because it was a house chore, but once you get your first paying client or two, it kind of changes your perspective.
My very first job? Mowing a property and managed to get about 40 feet of barbed wire wrapped up in the blades about 2 minutes into it. I still remember shaking in my boots, thinking the world had ended! But luckily, the homeowners laughed it off, and we still serve them to this day! Y’all know who you are!
Today, Yard Dog Landscaping is a skilled local team taking on tough jobs with creativity, integrity, and hometown pride. While we
still maintain your lawn, we have proudly expanded our services to:
-Landscaping
-Lawn Maintenance
-Paver Patios
-Retaining Walls
-Boulder Walls
-Sod Installation
-Christmas Lights
-And Much More!
Thank you for supporting us — it truly means the world. If you’ve got a project in mind, we’d love to help bring it to life.
From now until the end of March (3/31/2026), we are offering $200 off your first project with us when you mention this post!
