Looking for landscaping services in Eau Claire, WI that don't disappear after the first rainfall? You're in the right place. Green Thumb Landscaping & Excavating Inc. is a locally owned landscape contractor and garden center based at 6700 Hwy 12 East, Eau Claire, WI. We design, install, and maintain residential and commercial landscapes across Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Altoona, Lake Hallie, Fall Creek, and the wider Chippewa Valley.
Most homeowners we meet have one of three problems: a yard that floods every spring, a tired front entry that hurts curb appeal, or a backyard slope they can't actually use. Each of those problems has a solid landscaping solution — and almost always one that's more affordable than people expect when it's done correctly the first time.
Our complete landscaping service menu
We're a true full-service operation. That means we handle the design, the dirt work, the plant material, and the long-term care without subbing major pieces out. Our service menu includes:
- Landscape design & consultation — site walk, plant plan, layout, and budget
- Garden installation — perennial beds, foundation plantings, pollinator gardens
- Hardscape construction — patios, walkways, fire pits, steps, and edging
- Retaining walls — engineered segmental block and natural stone walls
- Land grading — finish grading, drainage correction, lot leveling
- Tree planting — sourced, planted, and staked correctly
- Mulch & rock supply — hardwood mulch, dyed mulch, river rock, granite, limestone
- Decorative rock — bulk stone delivered or picked up at our garden center
- Landscape maintenance — bed care, pruning, edging, weed control, refresh mulch
- Seasonal landscape planning — spring cleanups, fall prep, winter readiness
- Snow plowing — residential and commercial winter service
- Storm cleanup & debris removal — fast post-storm response
Need site work too? We're also a licensed excavating contractor — so grading, drainage, and material delivery all happen with our own crew, not a subcontractor's schedule.
Why local Eau Claire homeowners pick Green Thumb
Eau Claire weather is brutal on landscapes. Frost heave breaks cheap walls, poor drainage rots root systems, and the wrong plant in the wrong spot is a guaranteed do-over. We've spent years figuring out what actually thrives in the Chippewa Valley's clay-heavy soils and short growing season — and we plant accordingly.
We're also one of the few landscape companies around with our own garden center in Eau Claire WI. That means when we recommend a plant, you can come look at it with your kids before it goes in the ground. No guessing.
Affordable landscaping options that still look great
"Affordable landscaping services" doesn't have to mean cutting corners. We help homeowners get more for their dollar in three ways:
- Phasing. Big projects can be split across two or three seasons so you spread the cost without losing the design vision.
- Smart material swaps. Decorative rock or quality mulch can replace pricier materials without hurting curb appeal.
- Doing it right once. Proper base prep, edge restraints, and grading prevent the expensive teardown that follows cheap installs.
