Hoping to draw on the wealth of experience here.
My parents house is built sideways into a hill with the slop going from east to west across the front of it. Because of this the contractor that added the garage on 25 years ago had trouble getting the drive to slope away from the garage and be level with the road on the east side. With a heavy rain they get some water in the garage.
A contractor wants to remove the first ten feet of the driveway in front of the garage and repour it in a V with the dip going from the east corner by the garage to the west corner of the remaining driveway. This will give it a path to drain away, but I don't think there is enough of a grade difference to handle the volume of water.
I was thinking to just cut out the concrete in front of the garage and add a channel drain that moves the water to the west. The concern voiced here is that the channel drain will just freeze up and not drain during the winter. This is NE Kansas so I don't think that will be a problem as not much water should be in it at any given time.
What are your thoughts? I will try to draw a picture and upload it if my verbal imagery is not clear. Thanks in advance.

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
