Long story short, my mother (who lives in Hammond) recently had a sewer clog. Her street was originally developed by a private developer and the sewer is run through his company, not the city.

There were no visible clean outs (turns out it was buried 4 ft underground) and she could not get a hold of the company to identify where the lines were run. She had the city come out to see if they could figure it out and they couldn't find the line either. Being that her toilets were back flowing into her house, she had to resort in hiring a plumber to excavate her yard to try to find the line. They finally found and fixed the problem (and she now has 4 clean outs), but now her yard is pretty torn-up, so I am hoping someone knows a reputable company that is able to do extensive yard repair. As stated she lives in Hammond.

I really appreciate any assistance.

its pointless at this time of year

after they back fill level it out then get a few big bags of rye grass seed and just throw it all over by hand spreading.

the rye grass will grow in winter and form a root system and when spring comes, her regular grass will quickly take it over and the yard will look nice.

Yea I'm ok with that, but she is going to need someone to backfill/level it all out. I'll try to post pictures so people have an idea of what it entails.

don't get the rye seed that comes up every year, you'll be cutting grass every winter

This is a great time of the year to install sod if that is required after the grading work
