re: Landscape help - drainage problems

i'm the first house in subdivision and everyone's water drains into my back yard and then into the ditch to the side of our house by the road.
during a downpour we have a lazy river flowing.

i added 3 catch basins and within 2 hours after downpour all standing water is gone.
didn't really need all 3,but i didn't want to have to do it again if 1 wasn't enough.
i was going to do a french drain but read some people developed clogs with clay after a couple of years.

had an area that had gravel that i wanted to lay turf instead,so used that gravel to lay over/around the pipe to help with drainage as well.
