i'll throw up a vote for don't do it.

here's why. creek gravel, in addition to not compacting well due to the round, eroded nature of the rock from thousands of years of water flowing over it, is also not screened for size. sure, it will work temporarily, but flash forward several years.

you are going out to blade your nice new white rock driveway. it's getting thin in places (settling, pot holes, etc.) and you have to dig down a bit. what do you bring up with your box blade? why lots of big, round rocks. ever hit one with a low profile tire? in addition to possibly deforming the tire, it's rough as heck!

been there, done that. have spent many an hour after blading our nice white rock, out there by hand, picking up the creek gravel and rocks that came to the surface.

plus, if you have a hill of any kind, the stuff erodes like crazy. it is like driving on irregularly shaped marbles.
