Yard has significant low areas causing water pooling, scalping when mowing at lower heights, and requiring an estimated 400+ cubic yards of topsoil to correct.

No easy way to gradually regrade the lawn without heavy equipment or multiple seasons of effort; existing drainage or grading services are likely expensive and disruptive.
