I also have been working on a way to get the water to drain better from under my house and subsequently from the yard. I may be installing a french drain this summer.

Have you looked at your drainage? Is there any way to get the yard to drain better (aside from piling a bunch of dirt up on it)?

Sand with gravel on top. Any kind of mud/sand will be messy when it rains.

I really don't have a problem with drainage. The yard is slightly sloped and it dries reasonably quickly. It's just that it stays bare, so anytime it rains, the bare dirt turns to mud. In the summer it's dust.

I guess I'll look into some combination of sand and gravel.
