The yard at Kurt's cottage has very little pitch, which means that there isn't much of downward slope to assist with drainage. However, our LawnScape outlet is very ideal for situations just like this one. The LawnScape outlet is able to drain water despite a yard having no downward slope. This is also a more aesthetically pleasing option as well, because it's flat on the ground, allowing it to blend in to the yard far better than a drain or chute that takes up a large portion of the yard.
