Reply to comment by 2001sleeper in How to fix negative grading in plant bed in between house & front yard? by bayside_tigers

Thanks - would I need to build up the level of the entire plant bed to be higher than the highest point in the yard? Or just enough to get the level in the plant bed itself to slope away?

Needs to be high enough so the water does not pool by the house. Grades don’t have to be drastic to shed water. I would make it slightly higher than that walkway in the picture. If you have low spots in the yard you may want to think about a drainage channel. Yard work is easy, but time consuming.
