Best way to handle water pooling in the backyard when I want to put a large patio down

Hey guys,

So I have several quotes from contractors but they all say something different. I live in a new subdivision so our houses are very, very close together. About 8 feet apart. My neighbor and I want a walkway from the front of our house, split down the property line leading to the backyards, that widens into a Y to each backyard door.

On my property, I am planning a 13x27 patio that pushes up against the house. It's almost the entire width of the yard. The issue is I've noticed ice buildup this year on the back corners of my house. Near the backyard door, and on the other side. This ice buildup seems to be front water not draining as it should.

I'm wondering how I should handle this? I've had contractors tell me different things, and to prevent bias I'd prefer not to say what they've said. If you as a contractor were going to do this, what is the best way to either move the water or deal with it? Thank you very much in advance :)

Volvo CE unveils ZEUX: How a LEGO model designed with kids became a prototype for a real autonomous wheel loader

The ZEUX autonomous wheel loader concept employs a scout drone and an adjustable, boom-mounted camera called The Eye, to keep track of its surroundings and indicate focus to nearby humans. Of all the major heavy equipment manufacturers, none has been more outwardly committed to bringing futuristic, autonomous and electrified machines to real-world quarries and jobsites than Volvo. For the last few years, Volvo has been publicly sharing updates on the progress of autonomous machine prototypes like its HX2 carrier (a cab-less, self-driving dump truck) and LX1 wheel loader, and electrified prototypes like the EX1 cable-connected excavator. And though Volvo has plans to get the latest versions of those machines working at a real Skanska quarry this fall, the company isn’t letting up on its push for innovation. The manufacturer even found an opportunity to use its partnership with LEGO to inform the design of its future machines. This week, Volvo and Lego, which have partnered on high...
