Leaking basement! Backyard re-grading contractor? (Richmond, VA)

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a landscaping (or other) contractor in the Richmond area that could re-grade a back yard? Looking for suggestions. I have family there who recently showed me water pouring through the basement wall of their house, literally shooting out like there was a hole drilled through the brick!

I assumed they need a sump pump... until I saw the backyard during that same rain. Huuuuge pool of water up against the house. The yard apparently slopes from the alley towards the house instead of vice-versa. 

Anyways, I'm hoping to find some recommendations on contractors who can do that sort of work for a reasonable price. Doesn't have to be dirt cheap (see what I did there), but decent quality work for a reasonable fee. 

Additionally, if you have other advice or suggestions, I'd welcome that as well. 

Thanks in advance!
