I just dug into the drain line along side our garage - the black plastic, flexible, type - about 12-13 inches down. We had grates put into the concrete pad in front of our garage and and drain put down along one side and back through the lawn to a main drain to accept run-off from our driveway.

My husband is ill and I decided to try to dig the hole and dug into the hose - actually nicked a few holes in it - thought I was hitting a rock. Geez, I'm probably in deep duddy. Anyway, is it a really bad idea to plant over top of this - do the roots of clematis go that deep? Please, any help appreciated.
