I had Stipes do my gutters (good company) talked about the drains, for now mine R on the surface but at least 2-3 feet of horizontal pipes all headed to the swales.

I guess when I get back I'll see how they did in the summer rains
Never thought that we all didn't have sand. Good point.

You have pipes going out two three feet on top of the ground?

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.
