Due to close proximity of houses, drain system out back, and slightly slopped in front. Get water down to ground quicker so it can get drain quicker which IMO reduces possible flooding if everything works right. Otherwise water off houses would be landing on nearly flat concrete/ rocks which slow travel down compared to coming down in concentration area.
