It will look loads better too!
After that I'd be driving some holes into the turf along the edge to a foot or so into the lawn to at least 6 inches depth.
Try it and see what comes
I had suggested putting a flower bed in as a possible option because the gareden is just grass. They only moved in two weeks ago so are looking for other work to be done but this is top of there list, although I don't see it being a problem in the summer months.
And that was a leaking pipe creating a sodden mess about a foot square maybe a bit more.
I just thought I would point out the obvious that there is the sewerage system running along there somewhere before you go digging to forcefully :)
A quick look at the fence line in the back ground shows that the lawn falls quite steeply toward the house and heavy rain will not have time to soak into the ground before finding it's way to the impermeable concrete path, which must slope away from the house, combining to create the problem you have.
Good and regular aeration of the lawn will help, along with a shingle break along the path, but if the problem persists, a french drain and that inspection cover look very tempting to me - but I didn't say that!
