Decomposed granite (often referred to as DG) is a type of gravel that consists of small particles of granite rock. When used as a landscape product, it is typically compacted to produce a hard, stable surface. The material itself is relatively inexpensive, and the labor required to build a walkway or patio from DG is often simple and fast.

Water, especially in excess or for extended periods, will soften your path.

The crushed granite must be spread evenly across the entire installation area. Start to dampen the crushed granite and begin making passes with the plate tamper/compactor. Make as many passes as necessary to create a firm base. Do not make sharp turns with the plate tamper; this will create ridges in the base.
