Just slope a pipe? That sounds like I'd need some survey tools to get it right.
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.

We just used a level and set the pipe and put a little fall in each 10' section. Works fine but that will also work

If I'm getting concrete areas/pads added to my yard for a boat and a storage shed, should I wait to do the drainage work after the concrete is poured? Yes the new concrete will be in the area that the pipes will drain.
