I live in Mich. and my neighbor has 2x4s against the fence, which has my yard under water every time it rains hard or in spring when

the snow melts. I want to plant something to blot her out. I live in 5 planting area. Carol Buchanan — I have tried speaking to her, but do not want to start a war.. something else would suit me. Shrubs, trees, anything to take up the water. Thank you.

Is this a low point in your yard? What type of soil does your yard contain?
