Stabilized Decomposed Granite - Don't Waste Your Money
I get emails and phone calls weekly for "stabilized" decomposed granite and crushed stone fines. In nearly all applications these materials are HUGE WASTE of money. True decomposed granite, and keep mind many vendors who sell "decomposed granite" are selling crushed stone fines or rock dust.....does not need a binding agent or stabilizer to to make a solid surface.

Hey guys! This is my process of installing decomposed granite. DG is a pretty incredible product, and there's so many different uses for it in the landscape. In this video we are going to look at a step by step process of how to install it in a pathway or patio. We discuss everything from demo and preparation, to what kind of edging to use (steel edging, pressure treated wood, and composite, aka bender board), how to install the weed barrier (geotextile fabric), and what calculations you should use to order the correct amount of DG to fill your area. We also look at what kinds of tools are needed, like a vibratory (compactor) plate, and a tamper. There are a lot of techniques used here and please keep in mind that these can vary a bit. But this is a great basic easy process of installing DG. I'd rate it about a 6 or 7 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. So if you are up for a good DIY weekend project that will yield a pretty awesome result, this is it!
Here is the formula I use to calculate the amount of DG we need to fill a space.
L (length) X W (width) X H (height) / 27
Note: Make sure the measurements of L, W, and H are all in feet. Then divide by 27 and this will give you the cubic yards needed.
OK guys, I really hope this helps...let me know if you guys decide to try and how it comes out! It's often hard to hit every single detail in a short video, so feel free to shoot over any questions!
Happy DG'ing!

In this video we detail the process of installing a natural stone paver patio using Vermont Woodbury Gray granite slab pavers from Polycor Hardscapes & Masonry. This project features an alternative method to traditional excavation and mortar installations using granite pavers set onto EZBase, a high-density foam panel that replaces traditional compacted aggregate-base installations saving up to 8” of excavation, and significantly reducing time and labor*. Hailing from the hills of the Green Mountain State, Polycor's Vermont quarry has been producing granite products for over a century which have literally built America. Now contractors, designers and diy-ers can bring that history to their own projects and back yards for durable outdoor living spaces that provide lasting beauty for generations to come. There’s no substitute for natural stone when it comes to outdoor projects – it’s naturally durable, fade proof, and virtually maintenance free.
Polycor’s lineup of historic quarries, dating back as far as the 1800’s, is like a who’s who in natural stone and can easily be thought of as the stones that built the U.S. - because that’s exactly what they’ve done.
Set The Stage with Stone and bring a piece of history into your own project with Polycor Hardscapes & Masonry products, direct from iconic North American quarries near you.
(*The method described in this video of using EZBase to install granite slab pavers is an effective and efficient way to achieve the end result of a successful paving project, but the subbase / polymeric sand procedure outlined here can be replaced with a traditional excavation and mortar method for an equally successful granite slab paver installation.)

In this video I’ll show you how to build a DIY gravel patio and create a gas fire pit seating are with POLYWOOD chairs. I’ll also show how I created a D.G. (decomposed granite) and gravel pathway with steel landscape edging. Well at this is how I built mine and it’s working great! In addition to the video I’ve outlined the entire process below and will keep it updated with answers and explanations to frequently asked questions.
PATIO
1. Excavate down 6 inches.
2. Add rich soil to the boarder for planting later.
3. Cover patio area with landscaping fabric.
4. Add steel edging or plastic bender board to the patio boarder. A taut string tied to two stakes helps to mark any strait lines. I used this for the pathway edge.
5. Add 4 inches of road base (crushed rock) to the entire patio are, then level and compact it.
6. Next I added one inch of decomposed granite and compacted that. This could be the final step if you want want a D.G. patio, but I used this layer as a base for the final layer.
7. Finish the patio with a 1” layer of gravel for which I used my personal favorite - Sonoma Gold Pathfines. Pathfines hold in place
better than pea gravel, but they don’t get muddy like D.G. Does. This stuff is awesome.

CHAIRS
These POLYWOOD Adirondack chairs might just be my favorite part of this patio. POLYWOOD makes amazing outdoor furniture out of landfill-bound, and ocean-bound plastics! Not only are they comfortable and beautiful, but they are also extremely durable and come with a 20 year warranty, yes 20 YEARS! Oh, and free delivery in the U.S.! I highly recommend these chairs.

FIRE PIT
You’re probably wondering where I got this fire pit - I was fortunate to find it as a damaged item on Overstock a got it for a major discount. I wish you luck in your search.
I knew I wanted a gas fire pit, but it was way to expensive to plumb gas all the way to this spot, so I opted for the propane fire bowl which is a delicious I am very pleased with, especially after concealing the gas line in PVC pipe that I painted with Gorilla glue then covered with gravel. I concealed the tank under a hollow plastic rock that I found in the irrigation section of my local nursery.
FIRE PIT LINKS: These are NOT the fire pit that I used, but they look similar:

FAQs:
Ask and you shall receive
Q: Why all of the layers? Are they really necessary?
A: For my space and vision these layers were the best way to achieve my goals. The base rock layer is important for stability and drainage. As for the layers above that - I I stated in the video you could finish with the DG layer if you want a DG patio, but in that case I would apply a 2” layer of DG. You could also skip the DG and just do a 2” layer of pathfines, but they cost twice as much as the DG which was the main reason I did 1” DG first.
