We do not recommend specific landscape companies. I am sure you could have a discussion with some of them and decide on a contractor.
Your information indicates you live in Ramsey County. You might contact the Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation District : https://www.ramseycountymn.gov/residents/environment/soil-water-conservation
They have technicians who would do a site visit and advise you on the marshland/wet areas. You might consider a pollinator garden or a rain garden, depending on your site.
Good Luck!
