Help with garden

What can I do with this Garden. the drainage is bad. We got a new the last few months and and it is wet the garden he in ploughing it up by running around etc. I also have a small part at the side of the house that I would like to do something with. I had stones but the kids have been taking the stones.

I don't want to spend much as it is a rented house

Hiya, I'm not much of a genius when it comes to it but, I might suggest a climber, maybe clematis Montana for the wall/fence cover, they grow enormous and vigorously so. Hardy too. They like cool feet and hot head, so a slab over the roots will help you and they will grow into the sun.
Maybe mix with honeysuckle to prolong the flowering period.

Then the two sunniest sides of the lawn, dig a 3-4ft bed and sow wild meadow seeds, it's cheap and also lovely and pretty with a long show season usually !
Nature does it best, really

As for the lawn... I would say hole punch it with a metal rode every couple of feet to help lower water level, roll it, and lay some lawn seed. Pray the moss doesn't come and keep an eye out that birds don't get in there!

I'm guessing you don't wanna go too crazy between keeping space for the kids and the pet so simplicity should work well for you!

If you'll be there a while I can give you some seeds to plant up, just natives that won't be too much maintenance and should do well:)

I was thinking more draining with pipes etc
