For instance, the install of the drain/catch basin in the yard is to divert the water under the sidewalk and out into the yard to eliminate the downspout flowing water directly out onto the driveway. The water here tends to stain the driveway over a period of time. Some folks install them around their yard at every downspout to eliminate the 90 degree gutter extension sticking out away from the house. If you pay to have it done, figure between $125 to $140 for each one.
