It really depends on the use. If you absolutely need pitch towards the trench drain to remove constant flowing water, then you need to go wide. I often run a 5' swale on each side of the trench drain. But if you only need it for inconsistant flow you can squeegy off the floor, then a 1 to 2' cut around the outside of the trench should do the trick.
