Managed to make a start of leveling the lawn to patio transition yesterday. Rolling the grass back was harder than I expected.
The rain from last night almost filled the gravel trench. Helpfully it's shown how much the water pools where the stepping stones were, so I'm going to try and dig out some of the clay in that section and add gravel.
Overall though I'm not convinced it'll make a difference and wish I'd won the argument to connect up a drainage pipe to the drain.
The more I think about it, the more I think I'm going to add gravel channels to soak water to a spot on the left and create a bog garden there.
Also adding a bed roughly where the chairs are now should give a spot for excess water to pool.
