Need to add channel drain across existing drivewayFrom: no_spam_@bellsouth.net

CommentsOne of my gutters drains onto part of my driveway and slopes toward the house. At a nearby point (4 feet away), rainwater also flows down the driveway (towards my carport) and the carport gets wet and dirty during rainstorms. I would like to fix the two problems with a channel drain.
1) Divert gutter runoff draining into the crawlspace
2) Divert water coming down driveway to the side to prevent the patio from getting wet during storms.
My proposed solution is the following:
1) Rent concrete cutter to cut a channel across the concrete driveway.
2) a) Buy a channel drain (where can I find/make one?, OR b) fill channel with gravel.
3) Channel will divert both water from the gutter and divert any water coming down the driveway towards the house.
Is this the best way to solve the two problems? Is there a place to buy a channel type drain in the Atlanta, GA area? Any recommendations?
