    You can install a drain- French drains swallow up the water accumulating around the foundations of your house, while yard drains can drain water from anywhere on your yard.

    Grade the ground away from your home - maybe to a pond. Or digging in a fork all over will help with drainage.

    you could put in french drains just under the surface to remove the water and make it run off your property. We did this in our back yard and it worked wonders for us.

    berms and swales are methods for rerouting water and don't require expensive French drains.
