subject: Lawn drainage

Hello All!
Part of my front lawn gets bogged down in water over the winter.  It seems as 
though there is not enough slope, so the water does not drain away.  The 
slope of the lawn is slightly down towards the street, and the part with the 
problem has is drainage blocked (I suspect) by an area of shrubs sectioned 
off with lawn edging.
I wonder if I can build up the height of the affected area somehow, with the 
largest buildup in the centre and then sloping away towards the sides so that 
the water will drain out to the street on one side or my driveway on the 
other.  Or will that just move the problem further 'up' the lawn?
How would you build the lawn up?  Sand?  Would you have to re-seed, or would 
it grow through?
...Brad!
