What can be use to stop water coming in my yard under the fence?

Answer 1

One thing you can do about the water coming in under the fence is install a drain. One possibility is a french drain using gravel and a perforated pipe. If possible, you could run a pipe to the street and let the water flow into an existing drain.

Answer 2

There are many answers to your question. The answer for you, depends on your situation. If your yard is the lowest point on your property getting rid of water can be difficult. The 2 ways I would try first is to fill the yard with more dirt so the water flow some where else, But take a look around and make sure the water is not flowing into a neibors basement or just to another location where it will pool. The second and more expensive option is to use a french drain. Look up french drain on the web but basically you would need to dig a big hole and fill it with 1 to 2 inch stone and cover it with soil so you can grow grass. the water will drain from the yard into the hole with the stone. One thing that you should do is put landscape material between the soil and the stone so the water will drain into the stone but it will keep out soil and sediment . I do not have a fomula for how big the hole will need to be but it should be atleast 4 times bigger then the volume of water you need to deal with and don't forget you will want to put atleast 12 inches of loam on to to grow grass.

Answer 3

A drain or a ditch would do a better job of keeping water out than a fence.
