What is your okie calling road base? Make sure he is getting material that is TXdot or Odot approved.
The material used for base for an asphalt road is a lot different than gravel for a private road. More fines, certain gradations, etc.
You can pull TXDOT standard asphalt sections and material specs online I believe. I think you want TXDOT flex base.
Paving subs weigh in?
If you ultimately want asphalt you’ll probably want to use Geogrid on top of flexbase to make asphalt topping thin as possible as you probably don’t want to grade or mess with sub grade treatment.
Might not hurt to ask some engineers/geotechs for recs?
Sure local guys that do this all the time have way better input. Just thoughts on paper
