Hi Bud,

Here's one source of road building info. My road is also about 1/2 mile long between the main road and my house. It is through woods and fields with a hardpan layer beneath the topsoil. When the frost comes out of the ground in the springtime, the hardpan layer turns to mush and makes things real difficult. It is mostly through the field area that this exists. I resolved the problem rather inexpensively by using a geotextile fabric over the hardpan and covered with about 4" of 1-1/2" crushed stone plus about 2-4" of crushed bank run gravel on top of that. That spreads out the wheel loads and prevents the stone from mixing and working down into the pan layer. Worked slick. These fabrics are covered in the link.
