Hi everyone!

I was quoted $5k to regrade my yard. It’s necessary due to evidence of water damage in the cellar. They said the price is because they have to remove a layer of gravel because the yard was previously xeriscaped in the front and side. They need 6CY of soil. Does that price seem right? Am I crazy to think I can do it myself for under $2k?? Or do you have a recommendation for someone who can do it cheaper. I’m a first time homeowner so I’m not sure. Maybe this is completely reasonable and needs to be done professionally. What do you think?
