Whole neighborhood water drains into our yard
Any advice on what to do with water that drains into our backyard? In the far back, it’s our neighbor’s front yard and the other side of the flooding/drainage is the other neighbor’s yard. There is a water pipe/drainage where the tree is. The city told the developers they needed to add more dirt and this was the result (it’s improved some). If left alone, the water is gone within a few days. We bought the house before the county approved of the plat map so we weren’t aware there would be a water pipe/drainage system in our yard (I know, shame on us but we were verbally told we wouldn’t have anything in our yard by the salesperson). We want to install a vinyl fence because we have a dog and the neighbor’s trash keeps flying in our neighboring yards. I was thinking of planting some plants that require a lot of water around that area but not 100% sure if that would help any. Any ideas to help mitigate the flooding issue would be helpful!
