I saw that and wondered why it was even there.

Downspout is my guess, but still…

In the top left corner of the second to last picture you can see the down pipe from the flat roof. The previous owner had them installed and I have it on my radar to move them to the roof.

Ugh. Burying it is probably the "right" way to do it. Looks like asphalt or concrete though. Time to "upgrade" that to brick?

Definitely see why it wasn't initially buried. Having all that water dump into a non-porous surface (which may also not have a good grade) is bad...

I certainly wouldn't bury that next to my foundation. I'd go down the roofline and vertical it to whatever drain it's leading to.

I'd also paint it because Jesus what an eye sore.
