How to Stop Water Runoff from Neighbors' Yard - Divert Water Runoff. In this video, we will talk about how to stop water runoff from a neighbor's yard.
Talk to your neighbor.
You may find that your neighbor is not aware that he is giving you flooding troubles.
Build a dry well.
A dry well is a shallow hole with landscape fabric on the sides and filled with gravel.
Plant trees
Trees and shrubs offer natural drainage and help in stopping water runoff from neighbor’s yards.
Create a swale
A swale is a shallow depression in the ground that slows down fast-flowing runoff by letting the water infiltrate into the soil.
Set up a French drain.
A French drain is another way to combat neighbor runoffs, whereby you dig up a trench for your drain and fill it with gravel and perforated water pipes for effective redirection of water to another area.
Build a berm
This is a small hill built along the flood path to prevent water runoff from getting into your property by absorbing the flooded water.
Build a retaining wall.
This wall is very effective in blocking water runoff entering your premises at a high point with a lot of force.
