Default Pop up downspout extensions

Has anyone extended their downspouts below the ground through their landscaping beds to pop ups out in the lawn? From looking at my neighbors, it looks fairly straight forward. However, where do you find the parts? Is this something that Lowes or Home Depot carries?

Yes, they are available at Home Depot.

I've done it on a couple of houses 'up North'. PM me for details.

Cheers

I believe my husband had it done when we first moved in, but then there was trouble with them being underground, so we had the put back on top and now all is working well.

Can you elaborate on the problems? We're thinking of having that done.

Ace Hardware also has them.
