DSP348 You are looking for Oil and Stone. The industry uses asphalt products and blends them with some chemicals and water and produces an emlusion. It is spread from a truck at approx 150 deg F. The stone has to go into it as it is spread. You would probably need 2 lifts and letting the first cure before the 2nd.
A weel prepared driveway with 6" of crusher run compacted with a vibratory roller will do the job.
We do do some parking lots and roads over crusher run and they will handle some heavy traffic.
You do not have to worry about over agressive snow plows so you should be ok.

I would use the recycle concrete as a base, provided it is well rubblized. If not use your standard aggrates from your area for a base. Then I'd put a minimun of 6" of grindings or millings (depends on up or down cut) and roll them in with your rubber tired rollers. It makes an awesome drive.
I have 8"+ in most of my drive and can run a loaded tractor trailer on it any time of the year with no damage. I run a NYS permitted truck at 107,000 lbs gross. During the spring when it is real soft and if you look real hard you can see where I was.
Many people hand rake the top for a very smooth surface and use a garden sprayer with a light oil, kero, diesel etc. to reactivate and let the asphalt in the material rebond. They are good looking drives.
Prices in central NY (depends on who you know for freebies) but FOB scrap/waste millings $10. ton, road millings and grindings $15+ ton, processed millings, recrushed, ready to be remixed with asphalt $23. per ton.

grinder I guess that would work but for the life of me I would not be able to figure out why someone would pay $10+ per ton for grindings then mix it with $4. per ton crushed gravel.
Crushed gravel works fine and you can play with it year after year and grade it and add to it and grade it somemore. Grindings you put in once grade roll and forget it. It is done.
But I do like the theory and it does sounds good.

I gave you the prices for stuff here in central Ny. Do south they treasure the recycle more yet.
Our virgin hot mix prices are $36+ per ton at plant.
We have done large drive ways with pavers and rollers and squirted calcium on the grindings to lock them in. It is an awesome drive. When the sun beats on it during the summer it is resealed.
The best part here is it is considered a temporary drive so the accessments for taxes are not raised.

Grinder it has to be something to stretch a resource with something cheap put a name on it and keep the same price.
The asphalt found in grindings will not track into your house any more than the asphalt from your paved driveway however if it is loose on top it will come in just as dirt does.
Water based sealers would be something city people would want so they can clean up their tools with out a solvent.
Oil based sealers are an emlusion of asphalt and some other products that keep it all in suspension. Our people buy cheap tools and heave them. Some of the specility tools are cleaned with fuel.

Grinder I'd have to agree. I guess the trick is getting a good bond. I have seen 1" asphalt overlays with trapped water from poor pavement below. You'll notice a round pot hole 1-2" deep with a smooth level bottom...
I have to ask our lab engineers about the blend. We are a small company and our lab rats work with us on a daily basis.
The company web site has a snap shot of each area.
