Beginner Gardening: Sump Pump Discharge Destroying Lawn, 1 by Integrous

My sump pump discharges on the lawn beside my house & in front of the backyard gate (see photo) The pump runs frequently, so over time it has destroyed the grass and produced a lot of mud, which gets tracked indoors by the kids & dog. I considered installing pavers, but I fear they would sink or move around due to the moisture and mud. Any suggestions on how to address/prevent the damage from the sump pump would be much appreciated.
