What are the cons to burying downspouts? We're planning on doing some minor landscaping this spring/summer and it would be really nice if we could bury the downspouts because my dog has managed to destroy the end of one of them by getting his run line caught in it (plus making us go out and untangle him since he can't make it back to the door when he's wrapped around it).

Does this cause any drainage or other problems ?

It's always a good idea to consult with a professional landscaper or contractor to ensure that your downspouts are buried in a safe and effective way.

Burying downspouts can be a great way to improve your landscaping look, but there are some potential drawbacks to consider. One issue is that buried downspouts can become clogged with debris over time, leading to drainage problems and potential water damage. And if you're worried about your dog damaging the downspouts, consider installing concrete gutters, which are more durable and resistant to damage. Good luck with your landscaping project!
