Not sure why it is routed through the garage. Is the pit in the front corner just behind the porch, or in a "cold storage" under the porch?

Assuming because of grade to the right of the driveway, that this is where the discharge should be routed. If so you can sawcut the asphalt next to the channel drain concrete to bury a pipe below the driveway. The discharge should not share the channel drain, as when that is needed to perform, the sump pump is near it's highest discharge rate as well.

If you had a cold storage room with the pit in there I would've suggested moving the pipe over so it can be hidden with landscaping before it enters the ground.

Thank you so much for your insight!

That line drain in the driveway likely drains underground to the left in the picture. Instead of running white pipe above ground, use dark pipe underground to connect to the pipe to which the line drain flows.

Paint it to match the dirt and/or the cement. Then, plant a billowing plant there. I'd do phlox subulata, as it's evergreen (kind of, can lose some green in cold winter winds, with no snow cover), it's low-growning, and lush. Of course, I don't know your zone or exposure. But a bit of pipe the same color as the cement peeking out of a mound of phlox should do most of the job.

It comes in a variety of colors, but I've found the basic lavender to be the most vigorous. Although, that might just be because my pink isn't the greatest of cultivars.

The only reasonable explanation to route the sump discharge into the channel drain is because they didn't want to drive over a pipe, and the water needs to head towards the right of the picture. If the channel drain discharges to the left, then the sump discharge could likewise dump in the landscaping on the left or tie into the channel drain's pipe without any issues, because any reasonable person would have done so and not routed it into the channel drain which requires it to sit on top of the driveway.

The pipe is in the way if you happen to turn your car's steering to the right when backing up, you'll run it over. It's also a trip hazard and eyesore. Paint will not detract from it sticking out of the wall and above ground. Growing a bush or ground hugging plant so it overhangs the concrete and asphalt nearly 2', past the garage door opening so it can cover the pipe, would be a really weird decision.
