The grass in that area is not great maybe as a result of the flooding. I put an extension that I bought from Home Depot on the Downspout near the lanai but it is not helping....

Any ideas? I see people have mentioned Hills....does someone have their phone number, please.....maybe I should call them in....

Thanks!
If your home is new, call warranty. Call warranty even if it isn't new. They may need to regrade. Does the rain disapate quickly? We get a little standing water on parts of our lot but it absorbs in a half an hour. It is sand mostly all around us. I don't know about the grass. We put those cement troughs under the places where water splashes off the roof. You can get those at Lowes for about ten bucks.
