SUBJECT: New to group- snow melt drainage problems, help!

For the last 13 years, my family has been battling a swampy yard and
water in our crawl space. We have three $500 sump pumps but that
doesn't fix the yard. It's so bad that the dogs don't even want to go
outside. Our yard extends about 8' out from our house with two 12x15'
areas on either side of the house. It's a flat lot and there are berms
separating the flooded common area from our property but our house is
in the low spot. We have lawn, bark, aspens, and some native brush.
What can we do to get rid of all this water??? Thanks
