If you're refreshing the landscaping around your house, a downspout
diverter or extension can be helpful in preserving your flower beds by
directing rainwater from the gutters away from your house. Instead of water
pouring from your downspout and washing away your mulch or stones, a
low-profile downspout extension can divert water elsewhere.
For plants that require more water, you can use a downspout diverter to
direct the water to the area of your garden that needs the most moisture.
Downspout elbows allow you to easily navigate around plants, corners and
landscape edging. A splash stone at the end of your downspout can help protect
your lawn from erosion.
If you'd like to capture that
rainwater to use for watering your lawn or garden later in the year, consider
installing a rain barrel. Rain barrels collect water from a diverted and
modified downspout. Check local and state regulations before installing a rain
barrel, as they're illegal in some areas, while others actually offer a
financial incentive if you collect rainwater. For more information, see our
guide — How to Buy, Install and Use a Rain Barrel.
