re: Landscape help - drainage problems

I have thought about adding those. But if I add them to a low spot, how will it drain away from there? Just slope a pipe? That sounds like I'd need some survey tools to get it right.

You can easily bury your pipe on a slope. Sounds like you need to bring in some dirt to get rid of the low spots though. My problem is there is a hill between my house and the ditch that the water should drain into. The yard should slope from house to ditch.

You dont need survey tools. Put a 1/2" x 1/2" stake in the ground at each end of the pipe run and tie a string from one stake to the the other. Use a string level to get your string tight and level and then you can measure the depth of the ditch off the string to get the grade you need before you drop the pipe in. Simple.
