You can get a piece of down spout and connect it to what you have to run away from the house. You can also take a piece of drain tile and do the same thing. One thing to consider with drain tile though. If you want to dig a small trench to bury it, get some of that landscape cloth and wrap the pipe with it. That way the pipe won't fill up with dirt, leaves and sand. It will have to filter through the cloth first. I had to do that for a friend in Georgia once. The soil there is very sandy. If the drain tile was cleaned out it would fill back up in a matter of months. So I got the bright idea to wrap it one time and TADA it stayed clear.
