I don't like the idea of having my downspouts just emptying out onto the driveway or into the yard. I've seen people mention that theirs are buried.

Where does the water go? Is it tied into the storm drains? I've heard mention of pop-ups in the yard.

Enlighten me, please.
I could have sworn I answered this. My husband buried ours. It isn't easy because digging out reluctant sod is challenging but the ground is sandy. He was very proud of himself and I was proud of him.
