My neighbor's drainage pipe size was the real issue, not the slope
Tbh I spent 3 weekends regrading my side yard for water pooling, then my neighbor pointed out my 2-inch pipe was way too small for the runoff. Swapped to a 4-inch pipe last month and the bog is gone after every storm. Anyone else check pipe diameter before messing with slopes?

My 1996 house had a 2-inch pipe too, same exact problem. I spent a whole summer messing with the grading before I finally measured the pipe and realized it could barely handle a heavy rain. Swapped to 4-inch like you and the difference was night and day, the water just shoots right out now.
