They cut the trees. I get the mess

[Marthe48]

4. The road I live on goes up hill

The slope is gradual to my house and yard, and then gets very steep. The trees that were cut were in a row up the street just past my house. From what I remember from school, trees slow down runoff, either by the root system making it easier for water to absorb into the ground and by the canopy slowing the falling rain.

I'm on a corner lot. I used to watch the rain come flowing down the hill on the street past the trees. It stayed on the road in front of my house. During heavier rains, water would also flow down the side street and into my yard. We have railroad ties lying on their sides, partially buried in the ground. The water runs alongside and when it gets to the last rail, it goes into my yard. There's is a gap between the corner bed and the 1st rr tie, and I think they water is coming in there. Our neighborhood is built on sand. The next road is called Sand Hill.

The other neighbor has been cutting the cover on the other side of the street for years as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole hillside slides down someday.

There isn't a particular place the water comes in. Definitely on the corner and sides that face the hillside. The contractor is coming out and see what can be done.
