Solving Backyard Water Pooling After Tree Removal

After removing trees and seeding 6,000 sq ft of lawn, water pools at the low point. Contractors say re-grading isn't possible due to higher adjacent land and claim mature grass will capture runoff. The expert clarifies that grass only slows runoff and reduces erosion; it does not capture rainfall. If water cannot flow away, it must infiltrate downward or evaporate. Improving soil infiltration or installing drainage may be necessary.
