Driveway prep suggestions

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.
