My yard here in FL it a wet mess. We have horrible drainage (now that pool is complete we are putting in French drains) my pool company obviously deals with the wetlands here in Florida decided to regrade the yard and ended up building the pool and deck on slightly higher ground it's on the left side of my pool it really was a good idea to do that however it created a muddy slope on the side that we just don't know how to landscape. The French drain is going in at the bottom of that slope and we will probably put rock down pictures to show you what I'm talking about
