Residential drive needed. Whats the "best" budget option?

On a budget (who isn't), but need a durable, low maintenance and cheap (value for money) option/solution to needing a drive. I ask simply from an economic point of view (current prices of various materials & options etc). Cheers, Jem.

The cheapest type of drive you will get is minimum 150mm of well compacted hardcore, over terrain weed control fabric.
Well compacted, to tidy it up a good layer of topping stones of your choice.

Someone driving past in a flatbed who just happens to have a bit of tarmac left over from another job maybe? ;)
