He is a duck hunter, he will be cutting it every year to use for his duck blinds. I have some and we contain it to a small area. Stop being a dickhead.

You're a dickbag for this shite right here. Hope your neighbors napalm your place cause that's what it will take to keep that frickery from growing onto their property
I didn't realize bamboo was so hated. Fist time land owner. What's a good "barrier" plant that I can keep trimmed easily?

Coot, I enjoy bamboo. Is it hard to keep contained?

There are two types of bamboo: Clumping and running. Running is the hated kind.

Only argument your neighbor could have would be if you were filling in some ditches on your land that were dug by the Parish for drainage.

We call it cane reeds over here. It really isn't bamboo. The one I have only gets about up to 1 inch in diameter and it grows from a clump.
This is what I am talking about.

You could make a sweet arse duck blind with that.

It's a small berm to dry out that dirt and plant some bamboo.
But where are you going to plant the kudzu and corpse flower?

If the drainage issue is bothering you so much call Bobby Cortez the councilman on that side of town.

If you block natural drainage you are absolutely responsible. That law may even predate Napoleon.

I thought this thread was going to be about syphilitic drip.

You're wasting your time. The drunk story of an OT member's cousin in Alabama always trumps the law on the OT.

Ends up causing water to backup so much the natural drainage to the front of the home can't keep up and water holds up all the way to my carport. I don't know what to do. Should I just fill that bitch up?
Do any of your neighbors have pools in their yard? I've seen leaky pools cause seepage 20-30 feet outwards.
In your specific case if you can I would install a small catch basin with 4" PVC pipe running out to your sidewalk along your side yard, this will alleviate any ponding and or standing water every hard rain and keep it running to the street and let your yard absorb the rest. You could buy truck loads of dirt but that may cost you thousands.

I just talked with the neighbors. They have standing water in their yard which they've never had before. This is understandable because my dirt guy filled in a ditch I wasn't aware of. After talking to him, I called my neighbors to assure them their yard will have proper drainage. It has nothing to do with the dirt I brought in, and all to do with that natural ditch he filled in.
Neighbors were understanding about me not being able to dig right now, but promised I'd have it done by this weekend.

Damn! The OT hates an amicable resolution!
Now you don't get to kick their asses at Sonic, poison their dog, frick their daughter(s) or spend thousands on dirtwork and legal fees.

I am under the impression that you are responsible for 100% of your drainage. So it sounds like it is their issue and you're being helpful
