side of house always muddy

The side of my house always stays muddy for weeks after the rain.  We had landscaping rock delivered to our house on Saturday and of course now it rained all weekend.  The side of the house that stays wet is between two homes so the sun does shine directly on it.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to dry this area out so we can get a bobcat in to move/spread the gravel?

Re: side of house always muddy

  • Well I wrote a bunch then noticed where you live. Why not just wait until the rain stops and it will dry out? I get that you don't want to wait, but I am not sure what other options you really have (my original post suggestions had to do with checking your gutter intakes so it wasn't pouring off your roof, increasing drainage by your downspout...longterm and Washington kind of stuff, not Arizona stuff... and yes, I know it rains there, I'm from Arizona). A giant fan?? Towels? I just don't think there really is a logical way other than waiting it out.

  • We are just a few miles from Queen Creek - and are dealing with the same situation.  We have areas in our backyard that never seem to dry up after rain.  We are getting our gravel delivered next week and I hear they are saying we may get more rain this weekend.
