Still have to break up that concrete border and move out all those rocks. Don't like them. Then bring in a bunch of dirt, seed and straw over. But it has to be done in sections cause of the dogs. Muddy paws in the house won't be good.

For sure! Its always something! Luckily in the grand scheme $45 made this a cheap fix.

That is janky though as you said... floods the yard. my parents house was that way. I still prefer this way even with this extra work. I figure it should be good for another 25yrs. Plus with the clean out and thicker sked pipe, I would just snake it with an electric snake.

In the spring when my yard floods I add on to it to get the water out to the ditch. If I don't, the sump runs every 20 min because the ground is so saturated.

Sump pump hose, if you don't know what it is.
