Having an issue with our new house. We have a small stip of grass between us and the neighbours. This of course is now a 2.5'-3' tall snowbank after shovelling the driveway of the snow we've had. Unfortunately our drainspout for the house drains onto that part of grass and with the weather turning nice now we have the water pooling into the driveway and turning it into a skating rink when it refreezes. Anyone have any idea how to prevent this? We are unfortunately on a very shallow slope to the road so its going to be tough to bury a drainage line next spring/summer to prevent this for the following winter. I am thinking I might just have to go purchase a bunch of extension tubing for the drainspout and run it the length of the driveway along the side. Going to make it difficult for shovelling and its not going to prevent the same issue on the sidewalk but will have to just be dilligent with salt I guess.
Anyone run into this problem or have any better/alternative solutions? Thanks.
