    Yes. There’s several possible approaches to redirecting storm water: You could build a french drain or you could regrade the slopes to redirect the flow around the house. I don’t want to give too specific recommendations because I don’t have a survey or am familiar with the exact conditions of your lot. I don’t think infiltration is an option in your case though. The goal is to get the water away.

      Thanks. I figured regrading was best but I haven’t gotten around to it. It’s been less of a problem since we started putting up raised garden beds but I thought, hey, might as well ask.
