Decomposed Granite and Other Materials for Walkways and Patios

This eBook describes Decomposed Granite (DG) applications as well as other materials to use for patios and walkways. Includes 26 photos. Do-it-yourselfers will find a full description of how to install a proper, hard DG patio step-by-step. Homeowners who want to use a contractor will discover all the information to give their contractor to install proper drainage, and the exact methods for obtaining a beautiful DG patio or walkway. In addition, Patten looks at alternative materials, such as concrete, pavers, or flagstone, and when these materials are preferable to decomposed granite. Techniques for a flagstone DG patio are different than a pure DG installation and Patten goes over those as well. Types of DG, colors, choosing benderboard or other edgings, and alternative mixes are covered. A must-have for anyone thinking about patio materials, and especially decomposed granite.
