I've built highways for 25 years and seen hundred's of loads of stone spread maybe 2 drivers out of 20 can do this. My hats off to this pro driver.

53 s is a good size for driveway. Just enough dust in it to harden up stop the rock from rolling around.. Size 2 for a base. Let water down thru it.

1 ton does about the area under a regular sized Chev pick up about 2 inches thick.

I sympathize with you, I have a private drive that’s right at a quarter mile from my mailbox at the road to my house and it’s gravel. Brooks usually order 20 tons at a time of chat that has a lot of lime in it, for yrs I had it dropped as you do then get the gravel rake out and that was ok in my 20’ and 30’ and even 40’ but today I’m in my 60’s and still just a regular working joe, though I have slowed some.
