Post: Grading yard in rental property

Adding soil to the low spots would only add to the overall issue, the yard really needs to have the high spots removed. Both sides are currently rented and only one tenant has complained that it was an issue. I think I may add this to my bonus list for future review. I appreciate your responses.

I am currently rehabbing a duplex property and have a decision to make regarding the yards. They are not properly graded and often collect water during heavy rains (S. Louisiana). The property is not in danger of flooding or damage from this, however it does accumulate rain water and makes the backyard inaccessible in spots for about a day or so afterwards.

My question: Is it worth it to have the yards properly graded and re-soded?

Thank you
