Negative Slope Towards The Foundation

Hi
I have a client with a negative slope towards the foundation in one section of their house. The vinyl siding level in that section is very low so we cannot raise the ground level.

I was wondering if we could build up some pressure treated lumber to cover the vinyl and allow us to raise the ground level in front of it to fix the slope.

I am concerned with bugs and in regards to the breathability behind the vinyl.

We are also going to plant some bushes to help absorb some of the water.

Any suggestions?

Couldn't you build a swale to collect and funnel the water around the building?
