Yup.......that is also often called 3/4 minus.I get 3/4 dense grade road base, Might be the same as crusher run
Do you have an asphalt plant within 20 miles?Bumping this back up here as I want to pull the trigger on this by Fall. I'm planning to do the first 900' from my house along with my parking area by the garage. I was quoted $7600 for 276 tons of 2A, spreader truck application, rolled, along with Geotextile. While pricey, I think it's fair. This is for 6" of stone, btw. Anything you would recommend doing differently?

That's a pretty gravy job for a paving outfit as far as the actual paving part. Once your grading is corrected, 900' can be laid down in a few hours and a 19mm "base" material would be fine for the lane portion. 900' X 11' @ 4" should be about 231 tons +/- and I'd seek out a larger road type (not a driveway gypsy) contractor* for an alternate line of thinking and comparison.
* the driveway guys won't have a heavy enough roller for proper compaction of 19mm base, and proper compaction is essential.
