 Advice Needed - Gravel Driveway Construction

I agree with all the other posts, but would add that using the geo-fabric is a wise choice. Half of our 1000' road was done with fabric and the results are astounding. We had over 1,250 40-yd gravel trains delivering clay backfill for the adjoining 13 acre property for 6 months straight. The half that didn't have the fabric sank 6" - 8"---the wet clay under and along the road liquefies and literally oozes out and up along the roadway effectively creating a reverse ditch (the road being the ditch). After spreading another 800 ton of stone the road is almost back to where it was, and the oozing hasn't stopped.
