backyard damp
Return to Discussionsi've noticed my yard especially the backyard isn't drying even though not muddy but when walking on it you can feel your shoes sinking a little , haven't had all that much rain and been in the 50's f most days of course colder at night.. i don't remember this in past winters in georgia . one of my leyland cypress maybe 5 foot tall has even tipped over because of the damp soil.

RE:backyard damp
I agree that you'd likely smell the odor. You might want to dig a few holes about 12 inches deed and see if the water that accumulates is clear or murky after it's had a bit of time to 'rest' after the hole is dug. It would also allow you to get a better sniff of the water.
