Hi folks,
We moved to new hilly community and found our side yard is constantly soggy since water is leaking from the neighbor's side yard (see attached photos). There is no broken sprinkler head and our neighbor is not watering too much (about 3 times a week). What happened is our side yard is lower than hers so the water is sipping through. This is bad since we are planning to plant trees and too much water in the ground is going to kill the plants!
My landscaper said the only way to fix the problem is to ask my neighbor's landscaper dig out the dirt and apply water resistance material on the side wall, but my neighbor landscaper said NO and there is nothing they can do about it. We can NOT install French drain here since the plant roots will get into the drain and clog it. So what to do?
Do you have any experience or suggestions for situation like this? Thanks!
