Mesorat%20hashas for Sheviit 3:10

הַבּוֹנֶה גָדֵר בֵּינוֹ וּבֵין רְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, מֻתָּר לְהַעֲמִיק עַד הַסֶּלַע. מַה יַּעֲשֶׂה בֶּעָפָר, צוֹבְרוֹ בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וּמְתַקְּנוֹ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁאֵין מְקַלְקְלִין בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, כָּךְ לֹא יְתַקֵּנוּ. מַה יַּעֲשֶׂה בֶּעָפָר, צוֹבְרוֹ בְּתוֹךְ שָׂדֵהוּ כְּדֶרֶךְ הַמְזַבְּלִין. וְכֵן הַחוֹפֵר בּוֹר וְשִׁיחַ וּמְעָרָה:

One who builds a fence between his property and that of the public domain may dig down until the bedrock. What should be done with the [dug-up] soil? Pile it in the public domain and use it for improvements; thus says Rabbi Yehoshua. Rabbi Akiva says, just as we don't put obstacles in the public thoroughfare, so too we do not make improvements to it. [Rather] what should be done with the soil? Pile it in one's own property as one would with manure. And similarly if digging a pit, trench, or cave.
