Decomposed Granite
Decomposed granite (DG) is the normal result of granite stone’s breaking down into little, loose, powdered gravel. Frequent applications for DG are pathways, gardens, sports courts and nature trails. DG has excellent drainage and doesn’t absorb heat such as asphalt or concrete does. Decomposed granite is usually mixed with a stabilizer, saturated with water and compacted to maintain the majority of the loose dirt dense.

Decomposed granite has a loose appearance on the surface, but it may be packed down and hardened using a stabilizer for high-traffic areas.
