PARTY AT FRED'S HOUSESo, you’re were rolling something in the back of the garage. And now you’re happy .
The road base we made at our granite quarry in the next county was like that. It's mostly the crush count on the stone that aids the compaction. Funny, an asphalt job I did here where we mined the river, I had to add stone from the granite quarry to raise the crush count. Too many crushed round rocks from the river material. They did an asphalt job up there and had to add our crushed river rocks to their granite because their granite was softer/more fragile than our river rocks
. Gotta love them highway engineers 
When I was younger, the standard they used for our SoCal snow was basically 1" of rain=1 foot of snow. Guess half inch of rain in the flat lands, guess 6" of snow up high.
I'll pass! 39 years as equipment operator, I'm done with diesel fumes!

Crushed concrete.
Recycled asphalt works good too, but it's kinda ugly.
I've used asphalt millings and coated with driveway sealer.
Crushed limestone. Once it gets wet, hard as concrete though not as strong
That's how they resurface roads here.
Engineers figger new asphalt is good for about 7-8 years before you have to do maintenance, concrete paving 20 years. That's why Interstates wherever possible are concrete.
Crete and re-rod!
It was different. Just can't remember the name
They used very little steel when I was doing concrete paving. Like two pieces in 40' wide paving. They have really increased that from what I have seen in the new stuff they have put down in LA area.
Are you thinking of crusher run? That's what they call it here...................
You need it here in Iowa. Lots of frost heaves. Every expansion joint get's a cage. Rebar is probably 1" diameter.
Maybe???
Roads are **** here from the frost heaves right now. When it warms up the dirt roads will split open and not uncommon to see a big hole in the road.
