From backyard pathways to commercial driveways — see how DG works for every project type.
Decomposed Granite for Garden Pathways
DG compacts into firm, natural-looking walkways that blend with any landscape. Install at 2–3" depth with steel edging for a pathway that lasts years.
Decomposed Granite for Driveways
Stabilized DG creates durable, permeable driveways that resist tire rutting and rain erosion. Use 4"+ depth over compacted base rock.
Decomposed Granite for Patios
Create a permeable patio surface that drains naturally and stays cool underfoot. DG patios work beautifully around fire pits and seating areas.
Decomposed Granite for Xeriscaping
Replace water-hungry turf with DG ground cover for a drought-tolerant landscape. At 2" depth over fabric, DG suppresses weeds naturally.
Decomposed Granite for Dog Runs
DG provides excellent drainage and stays clean underfoot — making it one of the best surfaces for dog runs and pet areas.
Decomposed Granite for Bocce Courts
Build tournament-quality bocce courts using fine DG and oyster shell blends that compact smooth and roll true.
Materials That Pair Well With Decomposed Granite
Complete your project with the right base, edging, and ground cover materials.
Base Rock & Road Base
Compactable foundation material required under DG driveways and high-traffic surfaces to prevent settling.
Weed Barrier Fabric
Install commercial-grade landscape fabric under DG to block weeds permanently without chemicals.
Steel & Aluminum Edging
DG migrates without a hard border — steel or aluminum edging keeps your edges sharp and material in place.
Crushed Rock & Gravel
Angular crushed stone for drainage layers, driveways, and structural applications where DG alone isn't enough.
Decomposed Granite Buying Guide
Choose the right DG for your project, calculate coverage, and compare materials.
Decomposed granite (DG) is a naturally weathered granite that breaks down into fine, sand-like particles — creating one of the most versatile and cost-effective landscape materials available. It compacts into a firm, permeable surface for pathways, patios, driveways, and ground cover.
