Hi
I have a home that is slightly below my neighbours on all three sides. My rear neighbours lawn is substantially higher than mine and sheds the water towards my backyard.
Due to the make up of the backyard its difficult to grade the water away from my home.
I was wondering if the following might be a solution.
Along the back wall out 2 to 3 feet remove the sod and dig down a foot or two. Then backfill the trench with round stone or other appropriate aggregate.
I would grade the trench to force the water to one side of my property.
Just looking for some feedback on this idea.
Thanks
