About Us

Eagle Creek Nursery and Landscape Logo White

What started as a tree farm in 1916 has become a flourishing landscaping business through one family’s passion for creating outdoor living spaces that are pleasing to look at and delightful to spend time in.

Over a century later, the fourth generation of the Esterline family carries on that same legacy and passion of providing top-quality landscaping services, plants, landscape materials, and more to homes and businesses throughout the greater Indianapolis area.
