Decomposed granite, commonly referred to as D.G., is a small, fine material that is best used for ground cover on walkways, pathways, driveways, and garden trails. Their sizes range from 3/8” inches down to rock dust and this mixture of sizes allows for the correct blend of large particles “strength”, medium sizes “space filler”, and fines “binders”, to come together for a stable surface once wet and compacted. They can be the preferred option for ground cover not only because of their attractive design and style but also because of the low maintenance they provide. Because of this, D.G. is an excellent option to install as a xeriscape ground cover where little-to-no irrigation is needed, especially crucial for dryer, drought-prone areas.

When planning a landscape project, material costs can be confusing—contractors buy stone by the ton, while designers think in square feet. This article breaks down how to calculate true square-foot costs, the impact of stone type and size on coverage, and key considerations like freight, labor, and underlayment. With real-world pricing examples and a built-in coverage calculator, we make it simple to budget landscape stone accurately and avoid costly mistakes.
