I live in AL in a neighborhood over 100+ years. My street has a slight slope to it. My new neighbors, uphill, say my landscaping (slightly raised floweebed) prevents their rain water from flowing on to my property & so it floods their own patio. Do they have a right to flood my property? Their house has both a new addition & a new patio which prevents their rainwater from soaking into the land & they say it should be allowed to drain into my yard. I don't think they have a right to ruin my yard or me the house downhill. The natural lay of the land has been altered beyond what anyone could ever figure out. And on another part of my property land is a berm- I don't know when it was built or how natural it is. Can I be forced to remove it? Are there any time limits to changes in landscaping? I have lived here for almost 10 years, am I responsible for previous owners?
The neighbors bought their house recently so all changes to the landscape were prior to their purchasing their home.
