The easy way to maintain a gravel driveway is to just mow it. Mow it high until the sod sequesters the gravel. Then you can mow it shorter. The stone is still there, so it still works as a driveway.
For landscape rocks, I put a permeable root barrier underneath, so the few weeds that germinate are very easy to pull by hand.
