My neighbors griping about me giving away 8 cord of wood to another needy neighbor. Said it was stopping water or something. Gutter system ran out on far side of property. Turns out he bought lots from the estate. Either he didn’t know the drain daylighted there or he’s the one that collapsed them causing me to have to cut black top and change drains.
He wanted me to put blocks in too. My brother said the same about using a backhoe, even mini Excavator wouldn’t set them he didn’t think. I redirected all across my yard first in swales, regraded yard with tractor trailers of fill, screened compost top soil, 100 lbs of seed, etc. F ‘em, neighborhood peace cost me enough this year. I’m not putting big block walls on property line. Probably have to look at Pick and Carry chart to figure out how heavy you’d need to set. I’ve seen them set but big ones with massive cranes or at least 1-200 ton cranes. May have been overkill though.
