Who would I call to get storm drain cleared?

So I'm at an impasse, I have a storm drain in my backyard that is no longer effective because over the years dirt has flowed there and has the front almost all the way blocked off. There's even some big healthy plants growing in front of the friggin drain. Since this will need to be dug out with something like a backhow (and I am not renting one) I have a question. Who would you guys call? I am thinking a landscape service, but am wondering if I am overshadowing someone who would specialize in this (and be cheaper)

    I think I would try somewhere like Roto-Rooter too or something that does drains and pipes for homes. If they can't I'm sure they know who can. They have been my go to with drainage problems.

    Roto Rooter would be my choice too. I have needed to use a service for a similar problem and found them to be fair and effective. Plus they tell you up front what the cost will be. Also, go online and get a coupon for a discount, less money spent is good. If it is more costly than you wish to spend right now, they finance. Check them out.

    It is obvious that you did not build it with enough of a slope. Hence, the sediment is staying on your end. Get a pressure washer and start working it from your end. If you can get it to clear, and flow, just keep feeding water into it until the sediment has reached the ravine. In the future, run a hose down it periodically to keep the sediment from building up.
