Chris:
Follow Scott Trava's advice. Judging from the photos, this is a one-day job for a backhoe and an operator of middling skill. Hereabouts, that job would cost $500-$600, perhaps a touch more.
Then you have an issue: What to do with the spoil?
Spread it around the grounds. It might stink temporarily, owing to the nutrients, but it's fertile stuff, capable of growing just about anything.
