Photo - Decomposed Granite (DG) Pathway Construction

First start with a pile of decomposed granite

with stabilizer mixed in.

Lay the DG down 1.5 inches at a time and

compact with either a roller or a gas powered

compacter like the one shown here.

        

Next, hose down the pathway and let it dry. 

  

Then do another layer and repeat the hosing down process.

A good DG pathway should be about 3 inches deep and

be installed in layers to form a solid pathway.
