There are several ways to create better drainage in your yard, so your landscaping and foundation won't suffer. The first is to find a low point on your property to which water can be diverted. If there isn't something such as a dry creek bed nearby, a catch basin can be used to trap any excess water.
Using mulch in your garden is another way to combat standing water, as it can help prevent the flow of water toward your home and its foundation.
Another popular fix for standing water is a French drain, which is a piece of piping that goes underneath your lawn to divert water away. A French drain can even go all the way around your home, especially to keep water away from the foundation.
