Decomposed granite and crushed stone products are commonly used for decorative walkways, patio & outdoor living areas, planter beds, light-duty driveways, water-wise landscaping, dog runs, and utility and side yard areas.

Whether for driveways, pathways, patios, utility landscape areas or to surround trees, crushed stone or decomposed granite can be a versatile material that prevents weed growth, maintain even soil moisture, and makes an outdoor space more appealing. These two are not the same material, though. Decomposed granite has a natural coarse look to it, while crushed stone products tend to be flatter and have a higher amount of fine material. Crushed stone products, granite, sandstone, limestone, and others offer a greater array of natural colors to work with than most true decomposed granite materials.

A proper DG surface does not move underfoot like sand or gravel, but its porosity allows water to penetrate to the soil below. That aspect makes DG or crushed stone fines a good paving material around trees and shrubs.
The standard application process is to spread about 2" of DG or crushed stone fines, water it thoroughly then compact it with a water-filled sod roller, hand tamper or use a vibra plate it to settle. Then repeat the process with the last 1" to 2" layer for extra depth for stability.
