Hey folks,

Have a paddock area of about 1000 sq ft with concrete grass pavers on top of a couple inches of gravel. Place slopes slightly to the ditch 15 ft or so away. Has one spot about 6x6 or so feet that gets wet and a little soupy at just the hint of any rain and stays that way for a few days after it stops. Tree huggers won't allow any major work in the area. Looking at the picture, I was thinking to just dig a trench ad the edge the length of the wet area and 2ft deep with a leg going to the road ditch with gravel, leach field pipe, and gravel on top then the sod. Ditch would be about 6ft from the wet area. Think it would take care of the problem without pulling out the pavers? Not so much being lazy, just have to do the digging and get it covered back up quick before anyone figures out what's happening.
