Our garage has a gravel floor with a gravel drive way. The gravel slopes down hill into the garage. We have had ice and snow on the ground for over 5 weeks and now that it's finally melted the back part of the garage was flooded. We are going to sell this year what is the most econimical way to fix this from future problems?:

Regrading the driveway away from the garage in a downslope with a french drain perimeter to a drain field. Not knowing what you have does not help. A concrete garage floor with a 36" front 1.5 deg sloped apron to the driveway is a common design for runoff.
This is the only economic method I know of short of french drain crushed rock ditches and culverts to the down hill drain side without pavement. (A lot of toil equity.)
