    Disguising drain spouts
    We have to use an expandable drain spout to run water away from the house. How can we disguise this ugly tubing, but still have it so we can drain the water away from the house? Thanks

    I Normally Put Them Under The Ground, They Just Need Enough Fall For The Water To Drain,
    If Not You Can Place Some Stones Around Them And On Top To Cover Them Up,
    The Only Other Way I Know Of Getting Water Away From The House Is To Putt A Slotted Drain Line Around The Perimater Of The House, This Is All Done Underground And You Can Have The Drain Come Out Other Places That Are Not So Noticeable.
    If You Want More Info On That, Let Me Know And Ill Get Into Detail On How This Works

    If you can bury your drain line to a downward sloping swale on your property... that would be the standard solution. You might consider some kind of decorative cistern also. The water you collect off the roof is pretty good stuff for your plants.
