Sounds like a planning issue...

I don't know why y'all are giving this guy shite. It's very common to have backyards that slope towards patios and whatnot. sometimes that's just how it goes.
OP, DIY a french drain. Sucky part is going to be digging, but materials are all cheap. Dig a 12" wide by 12" deep trench that spans the length of the patio. Line 1" gravel at base. place a 6" perforated pipe on base gravel layer. fill gravel to a total of 8". Top with sand. Then run your pipe to your drainage ditch. Seed the sand. Do not use sod unless it is washed sod.
