Backyard Designs

This is what happen. I have a pool in my backyard. The pervious owners broke a oval circle in the concrete to install the pool on the dirty instead of just installing it on top of the concrete. So I have a gap between the pool and the rest of the concrete. So when it rains the water just backs up in that gap instead of heading to the drains on both sides of the pool. Anyone know if I can fill that gap with rocks and hope the water will go towards the drains? If not rocks anyone have any ideas what I can do?

I am really into interior and exterior design. I have found many websites to make a floor plan for the inside of a house, but what are some good free websites that help design the landscaping of a house? Also preferably a website in which i can plan out whats already in my back yard and just make modifications. any ideas?
