Hi I just would love to hear your opinion about this. There is a

fence between our house and neighbor. None of us build the fence.
We

bought the houses and the fence was/is there. The neighbor are now

doing waterproof the basement. So they are digging the area close
to

fence. They asked me if I will allow them to move the dirt to my

place (just easier than moving to the front of their house). I said

no (I do not want to get all the mess, they are hiring
unprofessional

workers and this has been going for 4 weeks. These workers do not

have even the right tools to do the job). Anyway, yesterday we were

away when we came back we saw the fence boards are removed except
the

frame and the dirt moved to our backyard! (see pictures below

please).

Tom R's advice seems the most sensible assuming the neighbors
are easy to get along with.

In your experience are neighbors who pile dirt onto your property
and house after asking if they can do that and being told no, easy
to get along with?

To me, it wouldn't matter if the neighbors were morons or complete
doofuses or even arrogant. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Just
"keep your eyes on the prize" and give them a chance to put the dirt
back in the whole and finish the job.

Okay, I meant put the dirt back into the hole, not the whole, but you get
the idea.
