Since it's been raining here almost daily for a while now my first thought is to get the drainage taken care of, be sure nothing slopes toward the house without being diverted by a berm of soil to divert the natural flow past the house. Perhaps if it's real flat and a wet soil type drain tile would be in order if you have an outlet for them. Another thing comes to mind is whether you're hooked to a city sewer or if you have your own septic tank and drainage field. I've known of a couple drainage fields that would'nt work because the landscaper put too much fill on top of the system. If you do have a drainage field check with the installer as to how much fill/soil you can put over it without afecting the operation of the field. Can't think of much more now, but if you're going to roll sod call a couple overweight brother inlaws, that stuff gets heavy and sometimes kind of ornery to handle. Enjoy your new home. Frank.
