What do you guys use or recommend for driveway material? Remember I live in the deep south so there is never any snow grading to worry about.
Driveway is hard packed white to tan clay. You could not dig a hole in it with a pick axe. Has had river gravel on it but has sunk down into the clay. Driveway is at grade with surrounding ground.
My options that I know of........
Crushed limestone. Makes a good driveway but out on my price range.
Blast-furnace slag Also makes a good driveway but must be trucked 50 miles so expensive.
Recycled asphalt I have never priced this so know little about it.
Now we will get into things more in my price range.......
Red dirt to build a crown then cover it with river gravel pumped out the ground. This is the same washed gravel they use to make concrete around here. This is what I was thinking of doing.
Dirty river gravel. This is the above gravel as it is pumped out the ground; it is not screened or washed. Mixture of sand (like is on a beach) all the way up to 2 inch gravel.
Crushed concrete. A guy at work told me they opened a crushing plant close to me so this will most likely be the least expensive. Suppose to be from dust to 2 inch concrete. Have not seen the product so I do not know how pure the final product is. May have bricks; cinder blocks; and or rebar in it.

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is.
