Question about gravel

[duckkiller]

I'm building a drive way at my camp this summer needing to get a load of gravel but not sure what kind to get any recommendations? Also anyone know a good source in the Louisville/Macon area

Plain ole red driveway gravel will do you fine. Limestone will cost you an arm and a leg.

Just call around and get price on clay gravel.

Lots of demo in Louisville since the tornado. Look around for some crushed concrete. A little dusty, but it makes a good base. I know the hospital is coming down soon.

Most in Louisville has long been gone we are still cleaning up my parents place getting ready to build so I'm going to ask the guy who does their dirt work for sure just thought someone here might have some ideas.

Any asphalt milling left out on 25 south of town? That stuff makes a good camp rd.

I'd get a good base of clay gravel down before I put down a layer of crushed asphalt or limestone.

most places don't have good red clay gravel anymore cause State specs call for more sand.. yea 610 is gona cost ya more but its gona be there when the clay gravel is gone and you are getting more

Can't tell you how many thousands of tons we hauled over the years out of Holmes County to put on our fishpond levees.

Spencer always had pretty good stuff.

thanks for all the inputs guys, its probably going to be mid July before I am completely ready for it Im just getting ready and trying to find a good source now.

Hard to beat crusher run 610. The stone will dig in tight and compact with the dust and it will set up very firm and handle heavy loads if compacted well. Pricey for sure though. Still plenty of pits producing good clay gravel also and it will make a good driveway but will require occasional maintenance depending on the situation.

I meant put clay down first, then top with limestone.

[msbigdawg1234]

put down some geo cloth kinda like filter cloth then put the 610 down ... you be able to drive an 18 wheeler on it when wet if ya gona put down a base then cap with anything
