Finding Solutions for Yard Drainage -
If you are fortunate enough to have some fall to your yard, or a storm water system that you can drain water into, you can easily find a solution to yard drainage problems. All you have to do is go to a building supply center and buy some 4" perforated plastic drain pipes. The best kinds for this purpose are the flexible ones that come in 100' rolls. The drain pipe should have small slits all around the pipe, which allow water to enter the pipe so it can be carried away. Dig a trench from the center of the low area that you are trying to drain, to the point that you intend to drain it to. Then using a simple line level, set up a string over top of the trench. This is done for making sure that your pipe runs down hill all the way. Set the string up to level it, then measure from the string to the bottom of your trench making sure you have constant fall. The fall should be 6" for every 100' of pipe.

The highest point is the area that you are trying to drain. Your pipe should go deep enough at this point so that it can be covered with soil. Once the trench is done, just lay the pipe in. At the highest end of the pipe, insert a strainer into the end of the pipe to prevent the soil from entering the pipe. Then, cover the pipe with washed stone, and then backfill the trench with some soil. The washed stone creates a void around the pipe that helps the water to find its way into the pipe. The part of the pipe that needs to be exposed is the low end, where all the water exits the pipe. You don't need to put a strainer in that end.
