New road. Build up vs dig down?

mercredi 8 octobre 2014

I am looking for some suggestions regarding a 1200 ft long driveway I am doing. More of a road really. I will be putting the gravel down 18 inches thick +. Underneath the sod is a couple inches of top, then nothing but hard red clay for miles. So I'm wondering, what makes more sense. Dig the sod and clay down 15 + inches so that I have the usual 3-5 inch above grade driveway. Or just strip the sod and thin top soil layer which is hardly 5 inches. Then proceed with my 18 + inches of gravel, which would put the road surface over a foot above the sides? I can top soil the edges so the above grade gravel doesn't constantly fall away. What do you guys think is the easier more sensible way to do this?
