Looking to throw some rock down around my camp in GI. Ive always heard that you throw a larger rock down such as 57 and come back with a 6/10 or something of that size to make it harden. Besides putting the black matt down underneath to prevent sinkage, which route on stone size should I use? One person I spoke to said to go straight 6/10 across the board. Any recs on rock contractors? TIA

Black Fabric is a must and we just went straight 6/10. No issues, packed great and no sinking into the sand with the fabric. Been down 7 yrs

Bear industries always sends #2 for
My driveway. I put #8 Limestone around my areas that get foot traffic. Holds up great and is easy on your feet.

What are you planning on doing on top of it? A building or just parking?

I have a buddy who said you can go to the muddiest place you could ever imagine, lay a roll of what they call geo grid down, sand on top and 6/10 rock on top of that and haul log trucks back and forth as long as you ever wanted.

That geo grid is some good stuff, i had a driveway built with that as a base and it is great.

As far as rock, 6/10 does not look as good but hardens up and packs well.
