Reply to comment by LostDefectivePearl in Any companies able to help me figure out why water pools in my backyard for days after it rains / storms? by techknee

yeah it’s tough to decide what to do since i’m renting, but in charge of the yard work. I really am only trying to lower the pooling of water so that I can do things with my dog in the backyard without them being covered in mud / soaking wet. Thank you again.

Oh that’s a bummer, these solutions can get really pricey with a pro, unfortunately I have no idea on that end but my guess is not less than $1500 for the most absolute basic tiny French drain (and your yard sounds complicated, sorry to say) I would contact your landlord because this work is beyond what you should be required to do.

Yard work would not include lot drain system. That is a landlord issue and I would discuss the solution with them as you cannot use the backyard due to drain issues. Yard duties are trimming, grass cutting, bush and tree maintenance but per code of HOA, county or city, not drainage issues.
