[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 4122278, member: 50228"] Edit: Enuf types faster than me, beat me to it. Well here's my advice anyway... My history is you can spend thousands getting new french drains put in (expensive), then clean them out yearly with a pipe auger (awful work).....or rent a skid steer (cheap) and grade the dirt on that side of the house to drain off by operating heavy machinery (exciting, manly work). The whole thing can be done in a weekend if you plan your drainage before hand, either into a lower part of your land or off toward the street. You can re-seed the grass immediately afterward too since it's fall. Man after this I may rent one and play in my yard. I have some hills that beat me up a little on the riding mower. Time to give them a haircut. Arr Arr Arr! [IMG]https://cdn.quotesgram.com/img/15/81/54715508-Tim-The-Tool-Man-Taylor-tim-allen-31354265-445-668.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
