Re: Building problem
Yiu can give the builder written notice that he has a limited period of time to remove the dirt without harming anything and that if not removed by the time provided it will be deemed abandonned. You might also mention (if you want the builder tomove it rather than leave it, that trespass calls for treble damages.
