A corner of my lawn (about 2 m.sq. is badly drained (& shaded). It
ends at a 20cm. step down to a path. What can I do?

I would plant the area with water loving plants, like bamboo or hydrangeas
or turn it into a marsh plant area. My next-door neighbour spent ages trying
to deal with a 'badly drained' bit of lawn before discovering it was the
outlet for a natural spring.
