mr. joist, if you are looking to do a modern backyard you should call Luis at LMD Design http://www.lmddesign.com/
they did the garden at Apt 138 on smith street and a number of others in the city. worth the call.

One neighbor simply snaked their drain to find a few old beer bottles that were causing the water to back up. the second neighbor simply connected their gutter drain to their storm drain. basically, they never knew that they had a storm drain. fortunately both were quick to fix.
