Here is a picture from the other side of where I want to build the rain garden. I think I could get it at least 7 or 8 feet away from the house, is this too close? My property line ends where the fence changes color, but I think I could make the garden narrow at the downspout and bring it out toward the drainage ditch to bring the water that way and keep a nice sized garden on my property. I hope this is possible!
