Do this and you will not regret it. 1. hire an excavator to remove the top 6 inches of topsoil. 2. lay in 3" of fill sand. 3. lay in 3" of large 1X3 limestone. 4. lay 3" of 21AA gravel. This is exactly what I did and I dont regret it one bit. My driveway is tough as nails and will hold up to 80,000lb concrete trucks. As for gravel and sand amounts for a 12' wide drive you will need the following for what I described. 40 yards of fill sand, 40 yards of 1x3 limestone and 40 yards of 21aa gravel. in my area this would cost about $2400 for the material and guy with a front end loader backhoe for a day. which would be about $500. DONT USE THE FABRIC method the gravel will only sink into the dirt and disappear and you will have to spent money on gravel every year, my neighbor informed me last week that he is getting 3 gravel train loads this spring because the gravel is sinking into the dirt. Do it right the first time and save money in the long run.
