You say, "just started" if it is a new home, if, I recall, the code is that there should be no puddles lasting more than 24 hours. The drainage ditch, will always be wetter as, of course water flows down hill. You or your neighbor may be over-watering. You or your neighbor may be dumping swimming poll water into the drainage ditch. You and or your neighbor may be adding water from rain gutters to that area.

"Natural drainage," this is not NATURAL. Your parcel of land
was or should have been, PROPERLY GRADED. It is expensive to regrade your property. If, it is new, your builder may or may not be correct. PERHAPS, AVOIDING THE COST. HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT? For us, they've been very helpful.
