They will just kill any new grass.

If I understand your problem your neighbors irrigation water residue is flowing onto your property. You seek a remedy, and the warranty department or the original landscaping company or both stated the solution was to tell your neighbor to water only 5 minutes. Technically/legally you can make a case that your neighbor damaged your lawn and needs to pay for re-sodding but that will cost you time and money and mostly aggravation . There has to be some zoning law that prohibits such an intrusion onto your property and it appears a natural swell was omitted by the contractor and ignored by the warranty department. I would contact the county office and locate the department responsible for county ordinances . This will both define the legal problem and give you insight as to how to remedy the situation. If you play tit for tat with this neighbor you might pass up an opportunity legally to have this neighbor make all of this right.
