How do you stop weeds coming through gravel?

A proper base and a good-quality geotextile membrane under the gravel stop most weeds growing up from the soil. Over time a few seeds blow in and germinate in the gravel itself, but they are shallow-rooted and easy to pull out or treat. Keeping leaves and debris raked off helps.
