There are several ways to improve the drainage of your lawn. They include:

  1. Making sure the soil is graded away from the house or any other structures.
  2. Adding compost to your soil to improve drainage and ability to hold water
  3. Installing a water basin. This is a catchment area underground that helps hold the water until it can be dispersed through the ground.
  4. Installing a drainage ditch.  If you have constant water runoff issues and or surface ground erosion you made need to create as drainage ditch.  These can be above ground or below ground using perforated pipe or crushed rock.
