re: What method should i use to stop lawn so moist?

I put in 3 surface drains and piped it out to the street with a pop-up drain, and it has done wonders for my yard. Even with the record rain we have had this year, my backyard is fairly dry the first day we get sun. Before putting in the drains it would take 4 or 5 days of sun and wind to be able to walk back there
