    Well, I suppose you could try. It wouldn't create a very neighborly feeling. I realize that he isn't showing very neighborly vibes but this is how conflicts start. Why don't you make it a point of cleaning it up when he can see you do it? It will give you the opportunity show him you are the better man.

    Just wondering, what is the solution to the problem?

    If you have no idea how to prevent the gravel from coming over, then that may be "his problem" he doesn't have a 'solution' thus does nothing.

    I have no idea what your neighbor is doing, how old they are, how able they are, or if they can even afford to hire somebody to 'clean up' the gravel.

    I'm sure you can legally compel him, however it may become a larger problem then just gravel being washed down stream.
