not really tell it is swampy until you walk on it.

Any ideas as to how to fix it? Should I level out the yard with new dirt


and


grass seed, or just dig a drainage ditch?

Also if I till the yard, level it and add new grass seed, how can I do


that


and still allow my kids to play in the yard?

Thanks,
