Drainage tile question

I'm going to be doing some driveway work tomorrow and might put a draintile tube in. Wondering if anyone has a link to some tips on laying the tube.
Thanks

going to be plastic and not cemented. Was going to run it under the driveway but decided now that its goin to go out to the ditch the other way.
 
1. dig trench
2. make sure trench slopes minimum of 1/4" per foot
3. lay draintile (platic tube with slots/holes cut in it)
4. cover with ~4" of gravel
5. cover gravel with landscape fabric based on soil composition
6. backfill
7. plant grass
8. unexplained gap in story
9. profit
