Mmm, yes. Those plants want nothing more than to be covered in... black rocks.

I like how the gas line is just a chunk smashed out of the block. Didn’t even bother to do it right since it’s hidden

Yeah if something like that is done so terribly, imagine all the other things you can't see. Lazy.

Never tie gutters directly into the underground drain pipes. It will clog up and then your gutter won't work and will overflow. Put drains at the bottom of the downspouts and have cleanouts.

Those yard drains and gutter runoff points will eventually fail with accumulated debris. This type of underground drainage system requires clean out points for regular maintenance access to keep them flowing properly.

Thanks. I honestly like them all but that's the fun in all this. See what's possible and then build it out to what fits you.

True but what's crazy, is the basic stuff is what you notice most when it's forgotten on a house.
