How to Build Dry Creek Beds for Landscape Drainage - The Spruce
I once had an area where the neighbor overwatered and it got into my back yard. I dug a hole about two feet deep in the corner and the water drained into it nicely. Since the sprinklers weren’t always on, it worked well for me. If the water source is constant, there may be a leaking pipe somewhere.
Improve drainage also, sometimes having a lawn de-thatched and aerated is the solution. You can rent this equipment from an equipment rental place or have a yard maintenance company do it.
If you know where the water is coming from, install a French Drain out to the street storm drains..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmmdGiEh1Mw&t=292s
