OK to shift this backyard drain pipe

Hi guys, newish homeowner here hoping to double check myself before continuing with shifting this 3" drain pipe in my backyard. It currently runs along the red line, but I want to shift it with a couple 90 degree elbows to the blue line for planting purposes. The pipe seems to only be fed by one or two gutter downspouts in the backyard, and lead to the front yard for drainage out to the street. The builder laid the pipe. Are there any issues that could arise by doing this? Is this beyond my basic DIY skill level or am I ok here with a simple PVC pipeline shift? submitted by /u/AnotherShittyComment [link] [comments]
