Limestone size

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.

If it helps, Quality Sitework Materials has offices in Kenner, and in Schriever (just north of Hwy 90) on Hwy 311. Any of the fabric you need.
For the rock....I am not sure.

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

Parking

Well compacted 610 for your typical cars and trucks is more than sufficient. 5” (compacted) over fabric will last a long time.

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.

For the driveway to my house, we came in with a dozer and pulled all the bad dirt out (the soil is terrible) laid down the geo grid, red dirt on top of that, then the 6/10. It has been outstanding. I think whenever the time comes im going to put 5/7 on top of the 6/10 i already have.

Parking
Cut off the topsoil, put a roll of tensar BX down with 18" laps, then put 1-2 6" lifts of any sense graded aggregate down with it soaking wet, roll with a smooth drum roller about 5 passes with the the vibrator on. Let bake for a day and you will have a 15 year pavement.

Do you happen to know anyone that could give me an estimate on this?

I'm in Kentucky. So no. I would imagine that you could easily find a dirt or paving contractor to do it.
