Reply to comment by Dredly in What is the appropriate French Drain depth in PA ? by Dredly
You could did a couple dry wells (stone pits below ground wrapped in geotextile). You can run your gutters to them and then give them a drain pipe further away if you want.
French drain will work too if you have somewhere to discharge it.
Either way I think you are going down the correct path.

My ultimate 2 problems are 1. my backyard and side yard just basically is unusable for a day or 2 after rain because of the water and 2. massive runoff is eroding the edges of my driveway, causing it to crack and I REALLY don't want to replace it if I can avoid it...
​
only thing I can think of is to divert the water around the 2 problem areas... but I can't go the "easy" path as its fully blocked by my driveway (it has a "T" section that goes to a separate garage, so its not as simple as just run a drain along it
