I took 25sq.ft. to mean the opening where the tree was
is 5' x 5', which would make it 1/25 as big as Marc's 
calculations (about 2/3 of a cubic yard). Adjust you
numbers accordingly if it's a "small" patch rather than 
a "big" one.  

If it is smaller, you may be able to do it yourself.  Buy 
enough bags of Sakrete or other ready-mix concrete. 
Secure a board along the open edge. Lay in the rebar 
and/or wire mesh. Mix the concrete in a trough or 
wheel barrow. Let set up and trowel smooth. And 
don't take a break until it is done.

HTH,
Kent
