you need trench, not holes, but really depends on many things

Have a concrete trench with a little drain running along the house, but it just can't deal with the gutter and the garden, water just runs straight off the lawn

Goggle garden drainage.

Look for French drains.

If you can't do that, pay someone to do it for you.

Cheers, think I might replace the pavement with a French drain and lead it off to a hard core soakaway basin
