IMHO, it's a pipe dream keeping weeds and grass out of a drive. I don't care what you do, you won't prevent dirt from falling off car, especially in the winter when roads are salted/sanded. Dirt/dust is in rain, just look how your car looks after a rain. Eventually the gravel or white rock will fill up, may take a few years, but it will, then what? Throw round up on it only to watch the grass come back.
I purchased a house built in 1939. The guy who built it never put in a front walk. 60 years later I put in a walk. Because the yard was not higher, about 6 inches. I made the sidewalk even with the top of the first step.
I also put in a back patio about 35 years ago. Back then the patio was above ground, today dirt is above patio.
Don't ask me how, but dirt grows. I estimate about one inch in 10 years. It's impossible to keep the dirt out of the rocks. You get dirt, you have grass and weeds.
Looks to me like something was growing in front of beatty's garage door or perhaps wet, shadow.
If you don't get stuck, or get mud on tires, make rutts, track dirt in a garage, keep what you have and save money.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
