They rent things like tillers and augers.. I got a hold of a tiller and
worked for a weekend in our yard. Till down the 4-6 inches then use a shovel
to move it all over.. Till another 4-6 inches and repeat. Do this until your
satisfied...
Now get some nice top soil and till that back in with the soil you removed.
Anyways, the link is for a company called united rental and it is a few of
the locations up near Phoenix. We use Erv's Equipment when we need to rent
stuff like this, but Erv's is a local Tucson company.
