Hello everyone,
We are currently building on a sloped plot in an established residential area. It will still take some time before we start working on the landscaping. At the moment, the area around our house is mostly bare dirt, more or less compacted.
This wasn’t an issue until a few weeks ago when the weather suddenly started bringing heavy downpours on a regular basis. These have now caused muddy runoff streams to flow from our property across the street regularly.
This is frustrating for the neighborhood and unpleasant for us as well. So far, no one (including the construction contractor) has come up with a sensible solution for what we can do about it.
That’s why I’m turning to collective knowledge now. Would you have any suggestions besides digging a deep ditch right at the street or building a wall, which might end up pushing the water toward our house?
Best regards
