Billy, what do you intend to do with this pad? Is it for a shed, a house, a parking spot?
The main consideration for any rock foundation is what kind of soil, specifically, you have, how it's going to support rock. Is the intended location of the pad going to be affected by ground, and/or surface water in a very rainy year?
Mediterranean climate, hugel trenches, fabulous clay soil high in nutrients, self-watering containers with hugel layers, keyhole composting with low hugel raised beds, thick Back to Eden Wood chips mulch (distinguished from Bark chips), using as many native plants as possible....all drought tolerant.
