Wowser - I'm in the wrong business - hi.
Sounds high to me too. Get some more bids until you get something
more feasible if you don't want to do it yourself. If you've got the
inclination, do it yourself. Using an excavator is kind of fun.
And dirt disposal can be a problem so that'll probably have to be
part of the job.
As far as getting an excavator in the back yard, I've rented a
small excavator that had retractable treads. You retract them to squeeze thru
the gate and then extend them for working. I don't remember the
manufacturer or model but the guy at the rental counter will know.
And getting concrete back there is easy - hire a trailer or truck
mounted line pump. Reasonable price and they'll pump up to 400'.
