You could have pumped the water in the sewer line instead of your garden, the sewer would have been flushed and cleaned with this big amount of water and the pump would have pumped more water because of less height difference.
We did end up digging a pit but have yet to install the pump apparatus. We ended up fixing the issue for the most part by changing our downspout arrangement and lightly modifying the landscape. While we still get some water occasionally it is usually little more than a puddle.
How long did it take to pump all that out? I'm currently pumping as my basement flooded this morning. I have about 6 inches but my basement is huge. Fortunately my water heater and boilers are way off the floor.

I thought about doing that, but here in PA you're not allowed to connect sump pumps to the sewer lines.
God bless thanks let's keep using our glorious brains ahaha
Absolutely!
You really need a sump pump dig. A sump and get to pumpin

suggest a material (sheath/membrane ) used during plaster of walls to prevent dampening of walls in basement.

Hope you had an ok time getting it pumped out. It took up probably close to 3 hours to get it totally drained
WOW BIG JOB.
Yes it was!
