I've had a problem with my yard since before we closed. I was promised it would be fixed. The "fix" they gave was barely different from what it was before. Frank said it was fixed and got overly defensive when I argued that it wasn't. Paul, at least, tried to understand me and did some research. Apparently there is a storm drain that is not in use that is way up from the street easement. No one knows why it's there, but for some reason it can't be taken out! The grade has to incorporate that into how it slopes. As a result, the grade of my yard on that side is completely unacceptable and Accent can't/won't do anything to fix it. At first I thought I could deal with it, but mowing is very treacherous. I'm surprised I've had as few near misses as I have with slipping down the yard. The top of the yard on that side, by the patio, has a huge hump so the grade is even more pronounced. Drainage is a nightmare. The yard is so steep, I've got trenches through my yard! The grass already won't grow because the yard is 85% clay and 15% rock, and the water drainage makes it even harder to grow! I told them they should not have allowed anyone to build on this lot or the one next door. Someone bought the one next door and they are finishing building now. Is their yard like mine? NOPE. Much easier grade and about 25% of the rocks my yard has, so now I'm furious. I have a 6' privacy fence up now, and from the street behind my house, cars are level with the bottom of my sliding door. That's outrageous! I have zero privacy from my back door! So now all I'm left with is trying some strategic landscaping (that's going to cost almost $1000 because materials are so expensive) to give me privacy and to try to cover the bald spots I have from grass not growing because the company they used put down straw and that awful netting stuff. The straw carried weed pollen on it, so the first summer, my yard (what grew) was seriously at least 75% weed. It was a nightmare! So embarrassing. I've hired a lawn service this year, but they can't aerate because of the "biodegradable" netting gets tangled in the machine. It's not the least bit biodegradable and it is impossible to try to rip it up! Other people in the neighborhood (Monastery Woods, BTW) have had yard problems, too. They can't seem to plan head to see how the yard is going to turn out, they just focus on the house and the yard is an after thought that either works out or doesn't. So don't use Accent Homes, they're shoddy and don't care to fix the problems. I've included pics of what the yard looks like standing at the bottom corner(literally, the bottom of the house is higher than your head), the slope that I have to try to mow on (worse than it looks actually), and the drop off from up by the house.

We had our house built by then in 2002. Excellent and quality work. Like most contractors they got behind schedule. But we didn't need it in a hurry and they knew that. Very pleased with end results. Also 13 years later still no complaints.
