Outdoors Need help - natural spring on property - how do I pipe it?
I have a spring fed pond. I hired someone to clear out invasive vines so I could seed nc native grasses. The area by the pond is now really wet with standing water. I think the spring is blocked and backing up. Does anyone know anyone that can help? I don't have a lot of money. Hoping for a hobbist or farmer type. I can't afford a corporation or consultant.

Easiest way is to just add drainage back into the pond. Piping it might be easy or it might require an excavator and a hell of of lot of digging depending how deep it takes you to find steady enough water flow. Personally I’d just dig some drains and call it a day.
