I have a small lawn on the backside of my home. The slope of my lawn is towards the house. I know that it should be away from my house so that water will not go in the basement or I will have the stagnant water in my lawn. Also the same problem is below my deck . How can the slope be corrected?
You are quite correct that the yard should slope away frome the house. If you cannot regrade the yard, you may have to place a catch basin with a drain pipe - placed in a covered trench - to carry away the rain water, to a lower area. Catch basins and drainage pipes are available at most building supply stores.
