You have options! You can regrade the yard; regrade and add drains; plant trees; fill in low spots with fill dirt, then plant groundcover to help with soil erosion. -

Hi Dina! First, investigating where it is draining from would be my first step. You may be able to divert the runoff.- See 1 previous

II live on. Street that's ends in the back of a group of senior apartments. They have a retention pound that overflows of coarse it goes down hill. There is a plot of land 150x100 then my house. The side that takes on the wAter is a trouble spot. The whole yard in the back and the one side gets to about 2. To 3 inches deep standing. It takes a day or two to soak in..I don't have a lot of money so I'm kinda stuck. Think maybe the next thing on the list is to buy dirt? Try to build up the yard a bit. My house sits on a slab sometimes its so close to top of the end of the cement and keep going up the house. I just don't want my house damaged. I'm 7 yrs into my 15 yr mortgage and sometimes I think maybe the builder didn't grade the plot right and this is causing the problem.No room for a tree and I'd need aquatic plants. LOL. Have to laugh or I'd float down the road crying
