I just had a house built and the backyard grading doesn't seem to have been done properly (also quite a bit of clay underneath the soil). They've already tried to fill in low spots once but these are the results afterwards (15 ft puddles in the backyard):

The contractor is telling me that we need to give it time for grass to grow and then we won't have the problem. I think that the yard should be graded properly so that water doesn't pool in the first place. Anyone have any ideas on what should be done? I'm getting sick of having a swamp in the backyard every time it rains.
Thanks.
