re: Landscape help - drainage problems

We went over something similar to this a couple weeks ago.

The problem really became noticeable after my neighbor built a large pool.

So what has happened is your neighbor has increased the runoff onto your property. Legally he is responsible for the increased water on your property.

Now if it was me, I would just install some drains and pipe to the street or a runoff ditch at the rear of your property and not worry about it. It will cost you $500 and a full day to do the work. If that doesn't excite you or you feel like you need to get a professional involved then I would absolutely go talk to my neighbor, explain to him that him adding his pool increased the amount of runoff into your yard and see how he wants to go about paying to fix your yard that he has now damaged.

Let me know if I need to dig up the other thread. It has all the legal-ese.
