If you still decide to get gutters, make sure that the downspouts are located to properly drain away from the house and to the landscaped drainage area.

My house doesn't have any of the orginal landscape anymore. But in the example of this new Villages house, it sure looks like every bit of the water from about 40% of the house is going to land in the front flower bed, front door walkway...
