This muddy downspout problem was ruining the lawn, so we turned it into a clean rock-and-flower drainage feature. Simple idea, satisfying result.

  1. Really stupid idea! Those plants are going to die from overwatering.

    Better plan would be to collect rain water from the downspouts in barrels … then use that water to wash the cars, water the flower beds and gardens.

  2. Water not leaving the foundation area. The foundation will eventually be compromised.

  3. Wouldn't an underground hose away from the building be smarter. This is a joke amateur job.

  4. First you need to get the mud off of the roof so the water comes out of the downspout is clear
