Looking for some urgent advice as I'm being told conflicting information
I'm planning to level the rear garden, the soil at its peak upto the side wall of a neighbouring property is upto two metres high
I've been told removing all the soil will compromise the structure of the neighbours property, is this correct?
I've dug a test hole of approximately 1 metre deep close to the wall, the colour of the bricks are the same red as the rest of the wall and i cannot see any engineering bricks as of yet and cannot see the damp course
Would this mean i am safe to dig further below so i can level the garden out?
I've been told if the soil is supporting the wall/house i will need to leave approx 2 metres length of the deep soil so as to not affect the other property and build a retaining wall!
Urgent advice would be appreciated
