Am I being stupid but surely if it was spread out over a path/drive the rain would wash it eventually assuming the crap had been raked out of it, and its going to need raked to get it level anyway.

The problem is wind-blown dirt, which only washes down to the weed
control membrane, where it makes a nice base for weeds to grow in. Once
every few years you need to remove that dirt, or you may as well not
have a membrane.

Add that to the already long list of ways in which gravel drives suck.

I don't have gravel on a drive, but I do have noisy to walk on gravel
around the house in areas where nobody ought to be walking at night.
