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.
Decorative landscape rock is generally sorted/screened to size by 3 methods. 1) Static “Grizzly” Screen Static screens are commonly referred to as Grizzlies and are the most basic and simple of all screens used to sort rock sizes. This type of screen is often used to prescreen out the larger rock before sending material into a crusher or screening plant (which could be damaged by large pieces). Grizzlies are made of parallel bars running at an angle from front to back. The bars are set at an equal distance apart. This allows material smaller than the set distance to fall through to the belly of the screen and larger material to slide off the front.
