    The earth will keep eating whatever you put on it. That limestone(a primary ingredient of cement) will help harden the ground around it, but in time it kinda falls apart, then it's time for another layer

    I kinda doubt you having easy access to shale there, but if you do, it makes a great top layer

    ps, a dumptruck can come in many different sizes, best to go by how many yards it is

    I cant speak for all slag but being from Pittsburgh there are many slag driveways near my house that have been there for years. All the old timers say that the blast furnace slag was the best because it is real jagged and locks together with very little compaction. Check this link it has a few descriptions of different types. This company is near my house if i look out my upstairs window i see a slag pile 10 stories high. Home Page

    Hope this helps,
    Mike
