Grade it an ask the guys that are driving up an down to split their wheel tracks. We never have frost here in Ga., But lots of rain. I have a 1,000 ft, drive Its raised so all water runs off, its got #57 that's a mix of 3/8 to 78" stone, I have a box blade to grade with then a drag. It works great an only have spent $1,000 over the last 16 years. Don't use what they call crush& run except for the very top, an only a dusting this will bind everything in.Also as you use it, split your wheel tracks. an fill any low spots that appear with #57 by hand so as not to disturber the stone that's compacted.

Crush&run, that always tickled me when people asked for that, I don't know why.
Crusher run makes a good base unless it was real muddy. How would you put a dusting of CR down when it's 1 1/2" minus gravel? That's 1 1/2" down to powder or minus 200. It sounds hard to dust 1 1/2" rock over 57's. Now 57's over CR works good as long as you don't have running water over them.
