Water stands in ex place of the pond

Hi, I would like to get some advice. We are just doing up our garden and previously there was a pond and slabs in the garden. We demolished pond as well as removed all the slabs from the garden, but now we have an issue that the water stands in the place of the pond as there is lots of mud on the bottom and it not absorbs in the ground. it seems the similar situation in slab place there are lots of sand. we are planing to remove some sand from the place where the slabs where and put some soil and grow the grass and in the place where pond was build the shed. so my question is: do I have to put like french drain in the garden to make sure there won't be puddle or wet places? our house stands down the hill. or will the solid absorb the excess water? any advice would be much appreciated. thank you
