My back garden is water loged and every time we get rain we end up with the bottom end of the lawn under water. What is most cost effective way of this out.
Any help or comment would be great fully received thanks

Sounds like you need to change the grade of the land to drain effectively. A bobcat could probably do the work in a short period of time. A knowledgeable dozer man or woman can handle this for you. Also, a French drain can be installed to help the water drain. -

Regrade the yard, fill in the low spots by trucking in soil, and / or install a drain system, typically a french drain. -

People around us dig French drains. They are a way to naturally divert the water and to do so in a pretty way. Typically plants are planted along the drain. -

French drain to move water out to street storm drains or into a creek, sump pump if its really bad, and maybe some catchment basins.... videos by Apple Drains can show it all to you and DIY solutions..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMbO5RIji_Yhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnfwox4zLRPkewHSQBop_fA also click on videos for more![]()

Be aware that it is illegal in most places to redirect water from one person's land (yard) to another. Resolve the issue where the water is starting, not where it is ending.
