New construction uphill is destroying my yard

10 years ago

I purchased a new home last August that was the model home of the community, and was very pleased, until the same builder started on his new senior housing development right up the hill behind our street. The problem is that it was a very rocky area and a lot of blasting was done to level out the ground. A large, unsightly retaining wall was stacked out of large blasted rocks right on my property line. The rock and mud is washing out into my yard, killing my grass, and leaving large mounds of dirt filled with rock in my yard. What responsibility does the builder have here if any?


This is in Missouri if that matters.
