I have mine next to the foundation and I dug a hole about 2 feet dip till I hit rocks, then I added half a bag of sand or more, then about half half of peat moss and composted manure.

I planted 1 basjoo about 8" down and the other at normal height, the one at normal height had droppy leaves for about 3 days but the one planted lower was perfect from day 1. They are both popping out new leaves really quickly now.

You may also want to check the slope of your lawn to see where drainage goes. Ideally if you can dig lower in the direction of the drainage and add sand you will direct excess water away from the plant. Also keep in mind that bad drainage will lead to frozen corm if it doesn't dry out before winter.
