re: New Construction Drainage Worry

couple things not brought up yet
-it’s been a wet winter here, but every winter is wet
-they just put the sod down evidently
-it will not survive being underwater like that
-regardless of what you do or don’t do to address the drainage, you are going to lose all that grass
-it will be replaced by dollar weed and other ditch weeds
-the soils under that sod are probably clay, so the only way that water is going to recede is by evaporating
-your going to lose those fence posts as well, eventually
-the fence is now in the way of fixing the storm drainage
good luck my brother
