So every time it rained, the landscaping would get all messed up including the mulch.
We brought a drain spout extension a few months after moving in to extend the downspout to the driveway.
Friday morning, we noticed the sidewalk leading to the front door was sinking because of the drain sput extension. So, we rushed to Menards and brought some material to install the drain spout underground with the pop-up drains.
I wonder if the builders will come to fix the sidewalk since it started to sink because of them technically.
Looks like this:

This looks like a great idea, but what about winter? If its buried at a shallow depth, won't it freeze?
