I have in front of my house, right in front of the flowerbed an area
that gets really soggy and waterlogged when it rains, and for several
days after. Grass does not grow that well there. I think there is a
pipe that goes under the area that is taking some rainwater under ground
and into the back yard by the sump exit.


Should I try to add dirt to the lawn, or maybe dig a hole and fill it
with a drainage pipe and rocks and whatnot to drain the water from the
ground in this area? Since I think I have a pipe right around here I
can drain it into. And Ill put in a cleanout while im at it since I
think that pipe is already clogged with leaves.

Or will a pipe draining water hear cause problems for the lawn by taking
all the water away?
