There is a downspout at the front of my house that I want to have buried. (I'm tired of sweeping and replacing landscape chips) I looked at some of my neighbors buried downspouts and they all have an opening in the yard covered with a plastic grate. It seems like the grate cover would allow for grass clippings and dirt to get in the pipe and eventually clog the downspout.

Does anyone out there have a buried downspout with a pop-up cover? If so, are you happy with it and what company did you use?

Thanks in advance.
