If you're getting a landscaper in then they'll fix it, if you're doing your own landscaping then get shoveling. If you're not doing either then you will have an unlandscaped yard with dirt, maybe a ditch and an area that looks like it needs a little retaining wall. If you mention it to them maybe they will be nice and dump some dirt in there.
