Decomposed granite is used for the walkways. It is affordable, easy to install and maintain, and has a soft, porous composition that allows for good drainage. Available in three colors of reddish-brown, gray, or a golden hued tone, it compacts down and forms a firm surface (figure A).A depth of 1-1/2" of decomposed granite is spread out over the walkways up to the driveway (figure B). It is then wet down with a hose to help remove air bubbles.
A sod roller is then rolled over the granite (figure C), helping compact it in place. It will pack down more over time and will have a feel similar to asphalt.
