If the water flows across the driveway pretty evenly, then you’ll want to put in a trench drain. These can be 4, 6 or 12 inches wide at the top and 10, 20 or 30 feet long.

Then, fill the bottom of the trench with 2 to 3 inches of 3/4- inch gravel. Next, install 4-inch drainage pipe in the trench. Drainage pipe has holes on one side to accept water.

The trench drain system consisted of a 6–inch wide channel made from HDPE high–strength foam polymer for maximum durability and strength, and is pre–sloped for ease of installation.

These are long drains that may be 4, 6 or even 12 inches wide at the top and can be as long as 10, 20 or even 30 feet! They work the same way a gutter collects water at the bottom of a roof.
