I have a 900' long driveway, flagpole lot. I had an excavator rip up the top 6" of soil then I had 4" of fill sand laid in and then 4" of 1X3 limestone (the bigger rock) and I had the concrete trucks from the house and garage construction drive over it many times coming in and out. then after I was all done building I put 3" of small crushed limestone over it to cap it off and make it look good. I dont regret it one bit and it cost me about $9000... material and labor.
My neighbor put down the geotex fabric and paid $1000 for it and laid limestone over the fabric and his driveway is full of ruts and will not hold 40ton trucks because there is not enough compacted material below the stone.
Good Luck
