Locate the water problem
During your estimate, we find where water exits, where it travels now, and which beds, borders, or walkways it affects.
Handcrafted Downspout Extensions
Handcrafted Downspout Extensions in Southern Indiana
Rainwater leaving a downspout can cut through mulch, wash soil into the lawn, and leave a bed looking unfinished. We make handcrafted downspout extensions to address that water path and match the surrounding curb. Each extension starts at $150.
The Fit
What Are Handcrafted Downspout Extensions?
A handcrafted downspout extension guides water away from the point where a gutter downspout releases it. We build them to solve landscape problems such as rainwater running through planting beds, washing out mulch, or creating an untidy break in a finished concrete curb.
The extension is made to match the curb rather than treated as a separate plastic add-on. Dimensions, connection details, slope, and the discharge path are planned around the property's existing downspout and landscape conditions.
Match the extension to the curb
We make each handcrafted extension to match your existing curb, with the color, profile, finish, and measurements chosen for that spot.
Plan the discharge path
The extension is planned around an appropriate discharge path. We look at the downspout connection, outlet location, grade, and surrounding surfaces before recommending the layout.
Review the finished transition
The finished extension looks like part of the landscape border, not an interruption. Your estimate spells out any grading, discharge, and cleanup details.

Custom Fit Details
Handcrafted Downspout Extension Catalog
The value of a handcrafted downspout extension is the fit: where it starts, where it discharges, how it meets the curb, and how the finished piece looks in the bed. We plan the dimensions, connection, water path, and access around your actual property.
Available choices
Curb-matched extension
The extension is intended to coordinate with the concrete curb already installed around the landscape bed.
- Made to match your curbing
Bed-crossing water path
Where water currently cuts across a bed, a custom extension can create a more intentional route through or along the landscape border.
- Built for beds where water washes out mulch
Single-extension projects
The starting price is $150 each. Your final price depends on the dimensions, connection, preparation, and cleanup your site needs.
- Starting price: $150 each
Multiple downspouts
A property may need more than one extension when several downspouts discharge through beds or along separate curb runs. We look at each downspout individually and price each piece for its location.
Where It Helps
Downspout Extension Applications
Handcrafted downspout extensions are intended for water paths that cross or damage finished landscape areas. The right application depends on the discharge point, grading, curb layout, and surrounding surfaces.
Common uses
Where this service fits
Through planting beds
Rainwater released into a planting bed can carve channels through mulch and expose soil. A curb-matched extension can create a more deliberate route that carries water to a planned outlet.

Along decorative curbing
A downspout that interrupts an otherwise continuous curb can look like an afterthought. A handcrafted piece made to match the curb can address that transition while guiding water away from the discharge point.

Long-Term Care
Downspout Extension Maintenance
A downspout extension needs the same basic attention as the gutter system above it: keep the path clear, watch where water is going, and address movement or blockage early.
Keep the outlet clear
Leaves, mulch, soil, and plant growth can restrict the water path. Clear buildup by hand or with a gentle rinse, and ask us if you're unsure about a cleaning method.
Watch the surrounding bed
After heavy rain, check for erosion, standing water, exposed soil, or water bypassing the intended route. Those signs may point to a drainage condition outside the extension itself.
Inspect the curb transition
Look for separation, cracking, impact, or a visible mismatch at the connection to the curb. Report changes before the transition becomes harder to evaluate.
Keep the gutter system working
An extension cannot correct a clogged gutter or downspout. Keep gutters and downspouts clear so water reaches the extension the way it was designed to.
The Stryker Difference
Why Stryker Outdoor Solutions for Downspout Extensions?
A downspout extension is visible plumbing for the landscape. It has to address the water path and look like it belongs there. We tie the extension into your concrete curbing so the two work and look like one border.
Made to match the curb
We make every handcrafted downspout extension to match your curbing. That keeps the transition visually connected to the landscape border instead of looking like an add-on.
A concrete curbing specialist
Custom decorative concrete curbing for homes and businesses is our core work. Ian Johnson designs each extension around your existing curb profile, colors, and bed layout.
Pricing starts at $150 each
Handcrafted extensions start at $150 each. Final pricing is based on dimensions, the connection, preparation, discharge path, and any additional work included in the scope.
Available during the outdoor season
Downspout extensions are available April through December. Weather and ground conditions affect the exact installation date.
Common Questions
Downspout Extension FAQ
What problem can a handcrafted downspout extension address?
It guides rainwater away from a downspout's discharge point, including water that runs through a landscape bed or disrupts a finished curb. It is a focused add-on rather than a complete foundation-drainage or grading system, so we look at where the water needs to go and whether an extension is the right fit before recommending the work.
How much do handcrafted downspout extensions cost?
Our handcrafted downspout extensions start at $150 each. The final price depends on the number of extensions, measurements, preparation, connection, curb matching, and access, and you'll get it with your free estimate.
Will the extension match my concrete curb?
Yes. We make each handcrafted extension to match your curbing. Share photos of the curb and downspout, and we'll match the color, profile, and finish during the estimate.
How does the extension connect to the downspout?
The connection method depends on the existing downspout, curb profile, grade, and planned outlet. During your estimate, we'll explain how we'll connect the extension and whether the existing downspout needs any changes.
Can one extension handle any amount of rainwater?
No single extension fits every situation. Water volume depends on roof area, rainfall, gutters, slope, and where the water needs to go. We look at your site and tell you whether a handcrafted extension will handle it; larger drainage problems may need a different solution.
Can you install downspout extensions during winter?
We install from April through December, so January through March is outside our season. Exact timing depends on weather, ground and surface conditions, project preparation, and current scheduling availability.
