Hi....we bought a home with two natural ponds in the front that sits on lakefront. Beautiful property but maintenance we were not expecting lol. We have two drain ditches on both sides of the property that we would like to install privacy fencing. Due to the soggy ground next to the drainage ditches which is very close to the ponds, we are having a hard time how to install fencing.
Is soggy ground normal? We typically almost sink in the grass. Seems to be constant sinking. Hot summer days and long cold winter days....sink.
Also, the front of the ponds has a bankment area in which the ground is slowly sinking. Unfortunately I am afraid it will eventually sink my driveway to get to the house. Otherwise I would continue to let nature take its course. But I need my driveway to get to my house. Help! Any ideas?
Plants? French drain? More dirt?
Thank you!
