I was talking the neighbor the other day and he said he didn’t understand why they didn’t build the pond in that area behind the shop where all the water runs too instead of at the opposite end of the property. I should look into building another one. I wonder how much that costs. The levees

Yeah dig a trench around the perimeter of the building, put in some gravel then a drain pipe with gravel over, then connect it to a drain going out to your retention pond or ditch or whatever.  Kind of a reverse septic field.  You want to get the water from around the building. --FT On

Hope you get that figured out, sounds pretty miserable. Are you allowed to dig out a big pond / drainage area? I'd think about that, create a nice big pond, and then all that dirt that is dug out can be used to build up your levees and such to keep water out of the shop. May need to use some

You need gutters on the roof with drains to carry the water to lower ground. If there is a path to lower ground and you don't mind an open ditch that would be easiest. Maybe a more gentle "swale" you could plant grass in so it isn't so ugly as an open dirt ditch. Allan On Sun, Jul 11, 2021,
