Using a digger over a wall to clear approx 20 cubic metre of earth

Hi have a 1.5 metre high wall running next to the pavement and then a tiered front garden that I want to turn into a 1 in 3 slope (eventually becoming a parking area). I have already put in a narrow concrete pathway/steps so know that it is mostly going to be earth and some building rubble. It is approx 2.4m wide with earth to just below the height of the wall and then rising to approx 3m approx 10m back. Can a digger work over the 1.5m wall to extract say an area of 2.4m width and 4m depth and knock some of the earth further back into this hole to make the slope over a longer length? Because the rest of the garden is tiered or stepped there is no easy way to get a digger into the garden. The hole is bordered by a brick garage on on one side and the brick wall of a neighbours garage on the other side.
