When I put in 600' of driveway through what was a muddy farm field, I took out the topsoil over what is about 3' of sand, then clay below that. The first 300' I put down 6 in of 3" crushed concrete then 6 in of 3/4"-1" CC over that. The 3" wasn't available when I did the next 300' so I just put down 12 inches of 3/4-1" CC. Been about 12 years and both sections have held up about the same. No big stuff moving to the surface. I regraded the area to create ditches alongside of the d/w and I ran them to a creek. I also crowned the d/w. The key is to keep the water from standing. There are a couple of small spots I need to fix as puddles are starting to form and those area are a little soft. Would not do the larger CC again as you get pieces with reinforcing mesh still in it that is just looking for a tire.
