BC> Hello All!
 BC> Part of my front lawn gets bogged down in water over 
 BC> the winter.  It seems as though there is not enough 
 BC> slope, so the water does not drain away.  The slope of 
 BC> the lawn is slightly down towards the street, and the 
 BC> part with the problem has is drainage blocked (I 
 BC> suspect) by an area of shrubs sectioned off with lawn 
 BC> edging.
cut down the shrubs... thas my adviece for u
 BC> I wonder if I can build up the height of the affected 
 BC> area somehow, with the largest buildup in the centre 
 
yes,this is possible, but acquiring ten tons of dynamite may be a truffle 
hard.. I know.. if you manage to , tell me where you got it please...
 BC> and then sloping away towards the sides so that the 
 BC> water will drain out to the street on one side or my 
 BC> driveway on the other.  Or will that just move the 
 BC> problem further 'up' the lawn?
okay, let me guess, do you speak french?????? huh, huh???? first, I cant 
picture what you mean for proper advice, I mean the word 'up', but however, 
the dynamite is sure to make an easy drain for all your water problems, and 
it works as a land fill for all that uneeded  trash!!!!
