Not looking for lawn maintenance, I need a major back yard overhaul. Earth works, drainage, sod/stone work, possibly large tree removal.
I've search the interwebs but most seem to not be suited to large restoration work or at least their websites didn't convey that that were doing that type of work.
TIA for any help.

we use mullin in New Orleans for large jobs, they are fantastic and work in BR all the time. Second choice would be BR Turf

Landry’s. The owner was renting house down street from me while his was remodeled, but they did a great job in short period of time on that lot.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Giant oak trees are pretty but they are not suited for maintaining a yard. I have a large (Cow)(Swamp) oak about 4 foot in diameter making my back yard basically a dust bowl / mud pit because grass wont grow and the rain washes my back yard into my neighbors every time it rains.

Look at earth works pro. Have 19 oaks on property and they keep it immaculate. Very happy with them.

so you have two options...design around the tree (shady outside living area, shade loving plants) or remove the tree and go crazy
I’d keep the tree unless it’s ugly, but I lost a massive willow oak that was shading the whole of one side of the house and we are having fun reclaiming the area as a planting spot. Consider keeping the stump and letting it decompose naturally while planting around/in it as it does.

In my experience around Baton Rouge, I would look into the following companies:
Green Up, Landry's, ProGreen, Roche's, and Reliance-One.

It's not ugly and pretty much shades 3/4 of the back, thus no grass. It is a pain in the fall when the golf ball sized acorn and pie plate sized leafs start falling.
My main worry about cutting it down is when the root system decomposes whats that going to do the the foundations.

Thanks for all the help. Seems it's not a hopeless cause. Got some good suggestions from several companies and now I just have to make a decisions on taking the tree out or pruning it. (the Arborist confirmed it is a white oak.)
Most say they hate to see it cut down, but understand it's always going to be a struggle to maintain a lawn and the tree. Seems Pallisade Zoyisa is my best option for grass.
Oh yea, my other problem is my wife has now convinced me that since we're doing all the outside it only makes sense to remodel the kitchen and master bath...
Sooooo my project is creeping by a few thousand..

Heard they want a pretty penny for their services. Does that seem to be true ?
