A developer left excavated dirt, making a new complex 18-24 inches higher than the adjacent yard with a steep slope. The homeowner asks about effects and remedies.
A steeper slope may erode faster and deposit soil on the lower yard. If the project is ongoing, contact the city/county building department to verify grading matches approved plans; they can withhold occupancy certificate. If silt-laden water enters the property, complain to environmental agency (e.g., DNR).
