Driveway pavement shall consist of a base course three inches in compacted thickness of one-and-one-half-inch crushed stone with binder material of stone screening and a top course of two inches compacted thickness of hot bituminous concrete, Type F.A.B.C.
(2) 
Subgrade shall be properly graded in accordance with a typical plan and not set or frozen and properly compacted with a roller weighing not less than three tons. The aggregate shall be spread evenly over the subgrade in a layer of proper depth and shall be compacted with a roller weighing not less than three tons. The binder material shall then be spread over the aggregate and swept and rolled into the voids while rolling is being done.
