Same here. 3/4" minus here is dust up to rocks 3/4" large. The base is basically what I assume would be called 1/4" minus currently.
The quarry I got the base from does not do stone dust or screenings. The larger quarry in our region is suggesting mason sand, so obviously the woman on the phone doesn’t know what stone dust is. I will try asking for screenings/having my contractor ask. Looking at the material list, I’m not sure it is something they produce?? This is a problem I didn’t anticipate. Ugh.

Last year was the second wettest (2014 was the worst) and this is the wettest spring on record. Great time to build! LOL.
