I've never heard of rolling over in "gravel", but to say a person is rolling over in his or her "grave" is common slang. It's used to comment on a situation that is extreme, usually in an unpleasant way.
Exp: Beethoven would roll over in his grave if he heard the way his music is being played these days.

Roll over in your grave.
It means to wake the dead (or piss off a dead person) like if you did a real bad job singing an Elvis song, people might say Elivs is rolling in his grave.
But my dog rolls in the gravel to scratch herself.

I think it's a typo for "Roll over in your grave". It means that if a person were dead, if some certain thing happened, they'd be so upset that they'd come back to life and roll over.

It's roll over in your grave - not gravel.
Something so shocking or disturbing that it would disturb the dead.

I've always heard it as "Turning in their grave". It's something so shocking that ... I have no idea. Just another stupid expression we use, I suppose.
