debris in back yard - clean up ideas

[Anna Lewis]

Hi everyone - new to the forums.  My husband and I recently bought a house that was flipped.  We're in a very very hot seller's market, and it seems our house was a bit of a hasty flip with some corners cut (we knew this going in from the inspection report, which the sellers refused to negotiate at all - again, big seller's market - and did expect other things to pop up).

One item that we're dealing with is a backyard that has a lot of 'junk' hidden in it.  From pictures, it looks like the original owners had all sorts of junk in the back yard, and the flippers certainly cleaned up much of it. However, it looks like there was some parts where earth was moved around, partly burying the junk at the edges of the yard (house backs up to forest) rather than cleaning up the trash. Extension cords, bits of plasticchairs, bubble wrap, etc. are partly buried in about a 20' region of the back yard.  What's the best way to clean it all up? Do we have to get someone to come remove the whole lot of it (this would probably require additional grading) Shovel and pick through it ourselves? Completely bury it under additional dirt?  Any ideas would be a big help!
