I am just worried about losing some each time. Over time a lot will be lost. Its 20mm and I don't want to scatter the pavement with it incase someone slips / trips.
Compacting it would help for a while but it will loosen up over time again. Could you increase the width of the brick threshold that would probably help.

you need to mark the 6 pieces with a permeable pen, then throw them back. See if it's the same six pieces next time, if so tie them around the neck of a cat and.....throw them in the cut :laugh:
Sorry for that could'nt resist, think it's to much sun. You'll always get a few bits catch in the tyres, you either have to live with it, or change to paving, resin bonded/bound etc: wider threshold may help.
Yes you can, as suggested by Sean, to replace your loose aggregate with resin bound or resin bonded. That'll require a strong, sound stable base such as concrete. Then apply - or better still have professionally installed by an experienced contractor - either:
Simple gravel is cheaper then paving or resin gravel or anything else and there are few reasons for that price diference. However - cost wise - in one 40 kg bag how many stones fit? 1000? so if 6 lost every day, one bag will do for a year Not bad.
I do all types of paving paving my self, but I am thinking that at my own house I m just gone have 2-3 colored stone areas. Loose stone in some featured shapes.
Its cheaper, no big maintenance, no issues with drainage, no stains, and most of all - I like that sound when you drive car on loose gravel
Not bad.
