The way it's done around here is to dig a trench around the exterior off the house foundation and lay a tile in the bottom to divert the water away from the house. Cover the exterior of the walls with foundation sealant,backfill it with washed stone, and lay a thin layer of topsoil on top of it for asthetics.
As stated above you need to get the water away from the structure.
