Ballast stone. Crusher run is the kike way out, 1/2 fines and washes right away.

Ballast won't wash away or pack into the mud and catches dirt, will self-level with time.
What are your thoughts on using driveway fabric? Waste of time and money? An old timer neighbor showed us a Roman style of using larger rocks with smaller rocks and sand between them (and a finer soil/rock mix as a topper) - as a DIY rather than hire guys for the job. And trenches and a high crown of course.

Thanks for your tips!

Couple questions -
How long is the drive?
Never heard of driveway fabric?
And you'll be getting concrete trucks, well drill, lumber delivered, etc etc? Contractors in and out for months?

If so, I'd ballast the low spots/future mudholes and not much else till the heavy truck traffic is mostly over. You don't want one to get stuck and turn a low spot into a fawkin swamphole.

Your average dump truck driver can tailgate spread stone backwards through that low spot and the truck will pack it a bit backing over the stone.

You'll have a good roadbed for whatever finish you'd want later.

Don't know the property size but a 4x4 tractor/loader makes life much easier.

I had edited my comment when you were writing your response. Sorry about that. This part of the drive that needs the work is around 100' long. Yeah, our first line of attack is to have a guy back gravel or larger stone in now as a temporary measure (along with doing some trench work).

The heavy trucks (well drill, etc.) won't be driving in and out until next summer. This job is a temporary one just for our pickup to make trips in and out with small loads of lumber for a small cabin this summer. Next year is when we start on the actual house.

We are going to save up for a small skid steer for next spring to make life way easier (and fun!).

If that's the drive, go with ballast now. You can always add more later.

Kubota usually runs a 0% deal and their 30+hp loader tractors are, to me, more versatile than a skid steer. Pto implements are much cheaper than skidsteer ones. Bush hog, post auger, plows, driveway scraper, etc etc.

This is a huge relief because of course, contractors will tell you you have to do the full job now with driveway fabric and such. All I'd hear in my head were cash register sounds at each component. We're just looking for a way to get in and out and this all sounds very doable ourselves (the temporary measures I mean).

We'll look more into Kubota (we were leaning toward Bobcat). Either way, more attachments = more fun.
