I would guess not real. I'd expect to see seepage and the need for a pump, like in that youtube of the guy in Arkansas who built a levee and moat for his house.

ETA: Apparently it's real, according to the linked article.

what a boss

the only thing that would make that cooler would be someone standing outside of the levee and a COME AT ME BRO at the bottom.

it looks real judging from the muddy color to the water near the levee.

I wonder how much it cost these people to do this? Nonetheless it's very impressive.

Spent more money on limestone than what the house is worth.

I know a number of people who have put levees around their houses.

I know of a catfish farmer that had 10 track hoe's raising his levees so he didn't lose any of the catfish from the ponds... Numerous others put levees around their shops. It's been a crazy month where I live.
