The house I grew up in in Potomac had sort of a low crease run through the backyard. And the neighbor's house (one down our side of the street, on the corner) had a steep slope coming off our back and side yards. A good thunderstorm would raise a silty creek that gathered itself on several surrounding lots, then traversed our backyard before running thru the neighbor's yard to the storm drain. Now our street had a pretty good slope on it, but in a GOOD thunderstorm the runoff streams on either curb would overcome the crown and touch in the middle.
The backyard is shady and grass never properly "took" there. My folks have let it go "native" with Spring Beauties, Solomon's seal and other woodland plants.
