We’ve recently put up an outbuilding, and decided to hold off doing the final grading until we could watch how groundwater from the spring rains behaved. Below is a picture of the current drainage. The good news is that on 3 sides of the building things are draining very well. But we have some work to do around the NE corner, where you can see the ponding.
Beneath the as-is photo is a sketch of what I think I need to do. What do you think–would you do it differently?
The right side of frame is the edge of our timber so that would be a good place to direct the water. Directly behind the photographer is the barnyard, so I would not want to send more water in that direction.
TIA for any opinions/expertise!
