Every time we get a decent rain my backyard turns into a mini lake. I've tried clearing gutters and adding gravel, but nothing works... starting to think it's the drainage itself. Has anyone dealt with something like this before?

Had pretty much the same issue when I moved into my place last year. Tried gutters too, didn't help much. Eventually found out the yard itself was sloped wrong, funneling water right to the middle. Ended up regrading and installing a French drain system—basically a trench with gravel and a pipe underneath to redirect water away. Worked surprisingly well... might be worth looking into if you're stuck.
