Garage Foundation

What do you guys typically do as a standard in front of the garage doors, keep the frost wall down 4-6" so the floor gets poured over the footing, or keep it even so it pours against it? Also what is the standard apron install?

Drop a course form against the outside
of the block and turn the slab down.
I also depress the slab inside the opening
so that there is a 1" step up about
6-8" inside the garage.
Helps keep wind driven rain/snow out
when the door seal ages or isn't perfect.
