What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I have an area on my property that has a retaining wall made from ugly concrete blocks that don't even match. The retaining wall is only about a foot or so tall. It's located along side my garage. My property width is between 5 to 6 feet (it narrows). There is about a 3 foot walking path, then the bricks are there and the elevated land is 2 to 3 feet wider. The neighbor is putting up a wood fence down the property line. It's going to look horrible from my side; there's a lot going on out there because the properties were joined at one time by two relatives. Just by my garage is this makeshift retaining wall that I'm having an issue with at the moment. I want to remove the blocks, minimize the mess, and level my foot path so I have enough room to move my equipment behind my garage (it's too narrow right now). Am I allowed to do this since the blocks are on my land?
