I have an area in my yard and put a tank under ground and stone on top ,Best thing is when the tank has water in it I can drop liquid fertilizer in it and drop a small pump down attached to a hose and water and feed plants during hot weather
I live on an island, 7 blocks from the ocean and we have a similar problem. Water table is to high and we flood. I'm sorry to tell you, the only thing that has helped is bring in a lot of top soil and sloping it away from the house. Then plant shrubs. You should also make sure that your gutters have extensions to channel the water away. Good luck.
You need to check ..Hydro Blox......hope I spelled it right,,....I think you will be happy..super easy to install...reasonable, no gravel.....water is usually 13 to 14 inches under ground ....you will no believe it.....
I got a shallow tank that is only 2 feet deep but 6 feet long
You can trench to a the road or other low lies (e creative), you also want to raise the grade at your house. Dress up the ditch with a pond liner and washed (or other decorative) rock and some shrubs etc. Hopefully the grading you do will "encourage" the water to run into and fill you dry creek beds.
