Decomposed Granite (DG)

Crushed granite stone (1/4 inch and smaller) used as a ground cover, pathway, or seating surface — the desert ground-cover default.

DG comes in tan, gold, brown, and gray. Stabilized DG (mixed with a polymer binder) holds together for walkways; loose DG is for plant beds and decorative areas. Expect $1–$3/sf installed depending on depth and color.
