I should have added, that if your subsoil is similar to here or turns out to be stable, one good layer of gravel, then wear course, screened gravel, item #4, crowned and drained properly, compacted well, should be no problem.
The photo is my driveway and the nice gravel going in. What was there before was a little soft, but when I took it down a foot, some areas less, it was hard, I did find a shale outcrop, just the beginning of it, I'm on a hill, so its drained, soil percolates well to, so in this case it was the material on top. I cleared it out, filled along the perimeter, then had gravel brought in, run of bank, screened, and I reused the item #4 I had in place that was good, that I could scrape up with out mixing it in. Only thing that happened here after 10 years is water eroded on side further up where it narrows, the rest has stayed put, and is hard as soon as the frost leaves, water drains right out of the gravel, no fabric needed at all, just have to repair and redirect some water, which comes off the towns lane at the end. I posted this photo a few days back, but the subsoil is clay/gravel and or some shale in places. It was hard digging with a dozer.
