Try decomposed/crushed granite if it’s available, it is fairly hard/firm when compacted and will drain well without to much erosion. Clay will require a base similar to asphalt. I’d also spend the few cents a square foot for geo-textile to stabilize your ground if you’ve got problems with settling, soft soil, erosion, etc.

I'm looking to extend the surface adjacent to the asphalt driveway for the purpose of enlarging/configuring a basketball playing surface (Go Huskies) here in the northeast. Don't wanna go with more asphalt...ya know, sub-base and all that. Thinking more along the lines of clay or crushed trap rock, hopefully something that provides a hard surface, is easy to place, doesn't muddy, and stays in place, etc. Any ideas?
Thanx, Brian
