I too am in SE lower MI.. (Monroe Co.).. My house has been here 5 years, give/take.. Never had a driveway so to speak.. just a bit of limestone "screenings" and some of the leftover stone from the weep tile/basement floor pour, as well as the concrete truck "washings"..
The previous spring, we had a mess in our driveway and I was tired of tracking in the sand from the drive area (my house is on top of a sand hill, so I really don't have the drainage issues) so, I talked to my neighbor who trucks for the company I work for..
After lots of figuring and thinking, we had 2 "leads" of slag brought in from a nearby steel plant.. The product cost about 1.50/ton (64 tons was hauled in) and we paid about $175 a load trucking, as opposed to nearly $10/ton for the limestone, but a savings of about $50 for trucking as the gravel pit is closer than the steel plant..
I personally like the slag, it spread just as gravel, but has a darker (almost black) appearance.. It seems to pack far harder as well.
