WHAT IS DECOMPOSED GRANITE & WHY IT WORKS
Decomposed granite is a natural, finely crushed rock that compacts into a firm, stable surface while still maintaining a soft, organic look. Its warm, earthy tones blend seamlessly with modern and traditional landscapes alike, making it a favorite for pathways, patios, garden borders, and outdoor living areas.
Decomposed granite is naturally permeable, allowing water to drain efficiently and reducing runoff - an advantage for homes and businesses seeking a sustainable, low-maintenance solution. With its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and ability to adapt to a wide variety of design styles, decomposed granite provides a beautiful, functional foundation that enhances the flow and balance of any outdoor environment.

DG Styles, Colors &
Installation Options
Decomposed granite isn’t a one-style-fits-all material — it comes in a variety of colors, textures, and installation types that can be tailored to your landscape. Whether you want a loose, natural look or a more stable, compacted surface, DG offers the flexibility to match both functional needs and design aesthetics. Our team helps you choose the right style and installation method to bring out the best in your outdoor space.
Natural Decomposed Granite (Loose)
A softer, more organic look that’s perfect for garden paths, light-traffic walkways, and rustic landscapes. It offers great permeability and a relaxed, natural feel.
Stabilized Decomposed Granite
Mixed with a stabilizing binder, this option provides a firmer, longer-lasting surface that resists erosion and holds shape better in high-traffic areas.
Compacted Decomposed Granite Surfaces
Creates a smooth, level finish that feels clean and intentional. Ideal for patios, seating areas, and spaces where you want a consistent, sturdy surface.
Multiple Color Options
Available in warm golds, rich browns, soft tans, grays, and blended tones to complement any home or landscape design.
Edging & Border Options
Choose from steel, pavers, bender board, natural stone, or concrete edges to contain and frame your DG surface with a polished, finished look.
Decomposed Granite Integrated With Turf, Pavers, or Rock
Seamlessly blend DG with artificial grass, stepping stones, or decorative rock to create dynamic, visually appealing outdoor environments.
Our DG Installation Process
A long-lasting decomposed granite surface depends on proper preparation and precise installation. Our team follows a structured process that ensures stability, drainage, and a clean, polished finish. From grading the area to compacting the final layer, each step is completed with care to create a surface that performs beautifully and stands up to daily use.
step 1
Site Preparation & Grading
We begin by clearing the area, removing existing materials, and grading the ground to establish proper slope and drainage. This ensures water flows away from structures and prevents pooling or erosion.
step 2
Excavation & Base Layer
The space is excavated to the correct depth, then filled with a compacted base material such as crushed rock. This foundational layer adds strength, improves longevity, and supports consistent compaction.
step 3
Edging Installation
Steel, paver, stone, or bender board edges are installed to frame and contain the DG. Proper edging keeps the surface neat, prevents spreading, and enhances the overall design.
step 4
DG Placement & Leveling
Decomposed granite is spread evenly across the area, leveled carefully, and prepared for compaction. At this stage, we shape the surface according to your design, whether it’s a pathway, patio, or open landscape area.
step 5
Compaction & Stabilization
Using mechanical compactors, the DG is compacted into a firm, stable surface. For stabilized DG, a binding agent is applied and mixed prior to compaction to create greater durability and erosion resistance.
step 6
Final Grooming & Clean Finish
We smooth the surface, refine edges, and ensure the entire area has a clean, well-defined appearance. The result is a natural-looking, durable DG installation ready for immediate use.
