There is a main drain in the backyard of CYV. Our CYV's main drain is in the back corner (farthest away from lanai near white fence) and the area around it slopes down toward the drain. Our back yard has pavers, landscape walls around planter areas and is all rocked. The concrete patio was removed and replaced with pavers.
The paver area has two drains (end near lanai and one in center/back away from villa and sloped to drain) which feeds into the main drain. Water on the brick pavers feeds into those two drains. On the side with walkway to front of villa (which is concrete), we have 3 downspouts on our villa and two downspouts on next door villa that are all routed underground and tie into the main drain. The landscaper cut the concrete to tie in the down spouts on our villa to the drain with the neighbors downspouts which then flows into the main drain. There is no free flow of water onto concrete or pavers from downspouts; it's all underground. The landscaper filed the cutouts in the concrete with brick pavers, so it looks like a design feature (all evenly spaced). This was all done by previous owner, which is one of the things that helped us decide to buy. I assume the previous owner received permission from the neighbor to run their downspouts directly into the drain underground. I do not know landscaper.
