We have a 12”square drain grate that sits on top of a round, vertical black plastic ribbed pipe. In the new Richmond builds I have seen a raised “1/4 sphere” cap on yard drains. Ours goes about 5’ down before it joins a buried pipe running downhill towards the Hogeye. Not all homes in my neighborhood have them - not sure why. If you drive Central Parkway and see lots being developed, it appears nearly every one has a vertical 8” black plastic pipe pre-installed. I have the original lot drawings from the old YouTrakit site. My drains are noted there. A few of my neighbors, who have found no drains in their yards also have those documents, with no drains depicted.
