A French drain is designed to handle standing water.... Its virtually a trench filled with rocks and gravel. put the stepping stones on top and soupy water drains out through the rocks where ever you want.... You can run it alongside your regular drain pipe.....

It can also be built without the perforated pipe...

Some contractors use them in the Swale of a house to handle water issues....

We use them around Washracks for the horses.... Keeps the area around the wash rack from becoming a quagmire....

Lord I hate cold weather. There's a skiff of ice on the Pond, and my lily pad et al are starting to shrivel. Time for semi hibernation. Good morning, Pond.

As much as I hate cold and ice, if the pond freezes over can someone teach me to ice-skate? Have to wrap me in bubble wrap and insulation!

Sure thing. Maybe we can organize a hockey game?

Me and hockey would be a bad idea!
Although with bubble wrap and insulation, I might could handle being goalie!
