Decomposed Granite (Granite)
Applications & Uses
Decomposed Granite
Decomposed granite is a natural aggregate material derived from the weathering and breakdown of solid granite rock. This process produces small, gravel-like particles that retain the durability and color variations of granite, making it a popular choice for landscaping and construction projects.
The granite attribute ensures that decomposed granite is exceptionally hard and long-lasting, resisting erosion and maintaining its appearance over time. Its fine texture allows for excellent compaction, creating a stable, firm surface that is both permeable and easy to maintain. This makes decomposed granite ideal for pathways, patios, garden trails, and driveways, as well as for use as a base material under pavers or artificial turf. It is also commonly used in xeriscaping and erosion control due to its natural look and drainage properties.
Pros of decomposed granite include its natural aesthetic, good drainage, and ease of installation. However, it may require occasional replenishment in high-traffic areas and can track dust or small particles onto adjacent surfaces. Overall, decomposed granite is a versatile, attractive, and practical choice for both residential and commercial outdoor projects.
