Any suggestions?

Had a bunch of trees taken out a year ago and did some grading, but turns out it needs to be redone.

Have used these guys for some drainage, as well as driveway work.

You can try The Landscape Guy. Jason has done some work for me and is very reasonable. He lives off of 1088 so a local guy if you are in Mandeville/Covington.

Thanks all - I've got some action on the grading front... new question:

My yard is slightly downhill from the back neighbor. We get a TON of water that comes down and collects in our back yard.

There is a small swale and drain pipe that runs in a 3' section between me and my next door neighbor' house, but even with that water stack in my backyard like a lake.

Are there any issues if I create a 6"-8" high berm along my back and side fences to keep water from flooding my backyard and instead forcing it into the swale/pipe?
