Hi- I live accross the street form a community that has a hillside down to the road and my property is on a slope. The hillside has been mowed/weedwacked to look more like a lawn - it WAS wild with random bushes, greenery, trees. It went from wild woodland to lawn like. It has been maintained to stay lawn-like with weed whackers. Since the change my lower lawn is wetter and pretty much stays soggy. And after rainfalls the water run off erodes my beds and lawn. Would this change in landscape cause the water issue on my property? If I could get the town to plant bushes (willow family) on the right of way land on the hillside would it help the issue? Any suggestions/ info would be appreciated. Thank you
