Author Content photocat Colonial Heights, VA July 07, 2009 02:23 PM Post #6789431 Most of my yard is evenly watered when it rains. however there is one side of the yard in the back that slopes away from the house and towards a privacy fence. there is also a section along that fence in which there is a raised flower bed that is braced by 2x4 timbers. seems water seems to pool at the edge of those timbers and along the privacy fence. I have been wondering if perhaps removing the timbers and lowering the raised bed would help the water be more evenly distributed. does anyone else have experience with this kind of problem? thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
