It should then be placed within a gravel pocket that is also encased within a filter fabric sock or cloth. This will keep all the dirt, garbage, and misc. material away from the filtration system. Be sure you have at least 1% slope drainage at minimum on that pipe also to drain wherever your taking the water. The gravel pocket also works as a seive to bring the excess water to your drainage system. To work properly, the perforated PVC, should be placed within a filter sock or wrapped in filter fabric.

Did you line the trench with rock as well as layering in landscape matting to prevent dirt from filtering in and plugging the holes? Is the pipe properly sloped to drain, i.e about 1 inch per 36 inches should work well. I think the holes need to be on the side.
