If they'd have been put above the garage, the cost of the additional gutters, and the additional cost of replacement would have far exceeded the minimal amount of damage to the concrete driveway. | |

This is in MN, so there's plenty of rain/snow/ice. YMMV, but the damage from cement erosion is rather small, and I'd say it'd be 100 years before enough erosion would occur to do enough damage to the concrete driveway to warrant repair. | |
