We have an older new build. It was full of clay and rubble with hardly any top soil. Only weeds would grow. Last year I dug up the large rubble and weeds and the worst areas of heavy clay. Then used a drill with an auger bit to make 2 inch holes down to about 6-8 inches randomly in the worst areas then filled with pea shingle. Before sewing a new lawn I left it like that for a while. After heavy rains I would add new holes where water started to pool. Eventually I covered the whole lawn with new top soil and sewed grass seed. It was a lot of effort but our lawn is pukka now. No weeds and no swampy areas either.

My own lawn is a complete mess every winter, it just doesn't dry out at all. The water table is naturally quite high . It has had 10mm of lying surface water on it since September last year. The grass has pretty much rotted off over winter and it just looks like a muddy mess now. Two dogs on it doesn't help either. 🥺

Love your content mate but although I can understand the reason why you chose limestone for its mineral content and soil conditioning properties. But the downside is its pouros and erodes over time to a chalk plus the minerals inside will cause patching and noticeable greener colouration in the areas drilled.

Filled the pit with rubble etc, covered that with top soil and made a rockery on top of that. Bedded in plants etc. into the rockery. After 4 years, we’ve had no water build up in our back garden.

Sounds like a problem with your septic tank, your soak away stone may be blocked or have surface water or drains going into it which is wrong. When was your tank last desludged? Should be every 2 years usually. I do pollution investigations for my job! Charcoal filter on the vent might help too.
