My house is relatively new but my rear yeard does not drain at all its supposed to run to the sides of the property and down to the front where on earth the drainage is in the street but everytime it rain my yard turns into a HUGE mud pit what can I do lacking installing a french drain.
Also interested in audible range ideas. I hold the same problem, hose just lays for days or even weeks.

I'd be interested surrounded by hearing accepted wisdom too.
