Afternoon All,

My rear garden slopes down from right to left, which obviously means that all the rain water tends to drain towards the left side of the garden. To compund matters the sun moves around the left-hand side of the house during the day, meaning that the waterlogged area is in the shade most of the time.

Apart from the fact that it's (almost perpetually) squelchy, the lawn in that area is mossy and horrible (as you would expect).

The main landwater drain is on the right-hand side of the garden (and therefore at a higher level than the bit that floods).

Levelling the garden is a non-starter.

I've tried keeping the grass (or rather, moss!) in that area short and aerating the surface using a fork, but I'm not sure it's doing any good.

Anybody got any good ideas on how I can resolve this?
