We were hoping to wait until we had the main house finished before we finished the driveway with a final smooth top coat but the limestone base was so hard to walk on. It is a very good first layer for a sandy soil.I am so thankful for our local sand and gravel yard that encouraged us to finish the driveway off with a product called "super select" ($8.00/yard , we used about 50 yards). It is a mix of 1/2 inch and smaller jagged rock. It packs down really well , it prevents flooding streams during rains and stays very clean, we love it!!!.
How we did it was to order the gravel from a hauler that pays for it and delivers the load ($50 to deliver the load, about 12 yards a load) and dumps it in the drive, then our neibor spreads the gravel with his bobcat (priceless).
