Drainage of yard

Asked Jun 22, 2009, 06:56 AM — 2 Answers
Dear Experts:

There is slope in the yard to keep the water from my house. However, the water doesn't flow out of my yard and water accumulates in some areas every time after raining. This causes some problems for the mowing and also pest control. Do I need to install anything underground or is there any way to fix this?

Thank you ahead for your advice.

How much fall is there now? Maybe a load of top soil to fill in the low spots.
