Need Opinion

Hey all! So basically I am looking for insight and opinions on the best way to tackle this water standing around. The skinny of it is is that I live in a townhome and the water runs along side the garden bed out towards the street, which works well, the issue is that when it makes its way to my front yard (picture 2) it has to build up enough to get to my drive way to drain out towards the street. (You can actually tell in the picture it is actively draining). So right now it works well in terms of staying away from my foundation but I would like to put a drain near where that trash bag is that routes thru my grass and out into the street. What would you say is the best way to do that? I am most likely going to pay someone to do it but can't decide if a french drain is the best way to go about it or if someone else had another idea that I hadn't thought of. Thanks! submitted by /u/soartexas [link] [comments]
