yes, two on the west side, one on the east, one in the front and rear.

I also have the entire pool deck which get a portion of rain from the roof go into a 35' long deck drain out under the pergola foundation to the side swale.

One side swale had a french drain put in under warranty, both side going to the street.

I also rake back ALL mulch about 8" from the foundation to make the bugs unhappy

ps: when I dug the hole for the pool the clay went 5' down.
