Best way to build a gravel driveway?

So I have another thread on my pond with great advice.
My larger project is finishing my driveway. I have a 438 ft dirt driveway built up 18 inches above ground level that I need to finish off. Whats the next layer I should put down? I've heard ash but I hear all sorts of different kinds and then the gravel. Should I put that geotextile down before anything?

How is your sub-base? Does water get to it?
If so, I'd cut up to a foot of existing soils, import structural fill, place geo fabric, then top with your top course.
If you have suitable soils, I'd blade it off, but make sure it is sloped properly to drain, then add the gravel.
Are you using pea gravel or a limestone material?
