I need some help guys, my garden is mostly clay and during yesterday's heavy rain completely flooded resulting in water coming up under the door and flooding my house. Is there a way to help prevent this? I was thing of using a yard stick to make deep holes in garden

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
