Mark,

Assuming the top of the slope is your property line, my suggestions a

1. Plant the slope in a ground cover to prevent erosion. You could also
terrace the slope with drainage installed behind each wall.

2. Regardless of (1) above, install drainage pipe parallel with the side of
your house (about 6 feet from the house) that empties at the rear of your
back yard. Your property appears to slope toward the back of the property.
You should use three or four 12" catch basins with 4" drain pipe. As an
alternative, you could also use perforated drain pipe installed in the ditch
with a gravel bed.

This slope really needs to be addressed to avoid eventual damage to the
foundation. Just my $.02.
