I know the red cinder is cheaper but I would advise against purchasing. It gets everywhere and makes a mess - go with the blue it will last your lifetime and not crumble to dust.
We added it to our driveway, used it for fill elsewhere, used it as a base to build new soil and I'm now using it for this pad.
I find the bad press red cinders get is much over stated.
I find black cinders to be better than red for building new soil.
I have a load of each of red and black sitting here right now.
In the end, the pad, after the sheds are put up, will get a top layer of black cinders mixed with organic matter for grass to grow on covering the red.
The red on the driveway has been in place over 4 years now.
Grass is growing over it except for the tire tracks.
It is crushing up in those tracks from being driven on.
But, the moisture in the ground keeps it in place.
It doesn't blow around.
It's just slowly turning into sand, not mud.
From years of dealing with breakup in AK, we are in the habit of not wearing outdoor shoes in the house.
Tracking red cinders around is no more of a problem than any other type of dirt found around the yard.

This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
