Pop downspout next to concrete sidewalk

Bec10 | Posted in General Discussion on

Is is appropriate to install a pop up down spout next to your sidewalk?  The water would partially run across your walk and driveway.

    The biggest problem would be that you're apt to run over it with the car.

    Sure, great place for it as the water will run down the drive instead of backing up on your lawn.
