That swale is there on purpose, to drain away excess water. If you insist on changing it, you run the risk of changing the drainage pattern into your and your neighbor's property. It could be as simple as a mucky mini-swamp, or it could cause settling of the foundation on both houses. Concrete shifting can crack ceramic tiles.
